Most of the times, the mapping between source code and the real world concepts are captured implicitly in the names of identifiers. Making these mappings explicit enables us to regard programs from a conceptual perspective and thereby to detect semantic defects such as (logical) redundancies in the implementation of concepts and improper naming of program entities. We present real world examples of these problems found in the Java standard library and establish a formal framework that allows their concise classification.
