Hi Laurie, the Tagged PDF Best Practice Guide: Syntax Document<https://www.pdfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/TaggedPDFBestPracticeGuideSyntax.pdf> from the PDF Association give some information about structure and grouping. In terms of titles for tags - I suggest picking something that works best for you to help you understand what is covered without having to expand the elements. Titles might also be helpful to someone else who you are working with to remediate or someone who might come after you to remove the tags tree to quickly locate portions of the document. I find that when element highlight is on in large documents and tags have to be expanded Acrobat can be slow - so naming can help you quickly jump around without having to use the highlight feature or expand the tag. The title's won't be visible to users of assistive technology when reading a document though - but they would be visible to anyone who looked in the tags structure - so be mindful of comments.
