CamelCase is good and pretty much a standard pattern. Thus, for denoting 
Classes any of the following is fine:

. :ApiDocumentationType
. :ApiDocumentation   -- I prefer this one, as the "Type" is overkill re. RDF Classes

For denoting statement predicates/properties any of the following is fine:

. :isPartOf -- is fine, we just need these to be lowercase, as per established patters.
