+1 from the ThoughtSpot converter (#285). ThoughtSpot display names are user-facing strings ("Total Sales (AUD)") that are not valid SQL identifiers, so we need both a stable identifier and a display label to survive interchange. Today we read field.label as the display label, matching what the Databricks converter does (label → display_name). The spec describes label as "Label for categorization", which reads as something else. Either blessing label as the display-name home or adding an explicit display_name (as proposed here) would resolve it; right now two converters are already relying on an interpretation the spec doesn't quite state. |

To clearly identify fields/metrics, we sometimes use rather complex naming patterns. Very likely, they're also snake_case, which is not end user friendly. When we later start using the semantics, we will inevitably want a unified experience on display names. Where else would we define these unified display names, if not in our semantic layer.
Example:
