Thanks! I’ve looked at (2) a bit and some other work on Information Architecture.
I’ve found it interesting but kind of old-school, it seems to have been a big deal when web tree navigation was a big thing, and to have died down after. It also seems pretty applied; as in there isn’t a lot of connection with academic theory in how one could think about these classifications.
I’ve found the term/field of “Information Architecture” to be the most useful for finding things here. Books that I liked reading in this space:

A bunch of the books in this space also include chapters on naming and clustering things. The O’Reilly book also included a chapter on naming schemes.
Most of it is focused on names within ontologies though, not really on stand-alone names.
