I thought you might find these useful (courtesy of Aleksey Savateyev et. al.)
The table below includes prefixes/suffixes that should be used when naming BizTalk 2004 orchestration types and send and receive ports. In addition, each prefix must be followed by a logical object/entity name. For the object name, follow these guidelines:
§ Spell out all words used in the name. Do not abbreviate unless the object name becomes long.
§ Avoid the use of underscores within object names.
§ Object names shall be in standard “Hungarian” (upper and lower) case.
§ No spaces are allowed in object names.

In addition to the “sch” prefix that is appended to all BizTalk specifications and document definitions, the following convention should be followed:
“sch” + [Description] + [Type of Schema]
where:
§ Description = a document description maybe a project name or entity name or application name
§ Type of Schema: FLATFILE, EDI, XML
In addition to the “map” prefix appended to all BizTalk maps, the following naming convention should be followed:
“map” + [SourceSpec] + “To” + [DestinationSpec]
where:
§ SourceSpec = name of source specification excluding the specification prefix “sch”
§ DestSpec = name of destination specification excluding the specification prefix “sch”
