  Provisional designation in astronomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current system of provisional designation of asteroids has been in place since 1925, and superseded several previous conventions, each of which was rendered obsolete by the increasing numbers of asteroid discoveries.
At first, the provisional designation consisted of the year of discovery followed by a letter indicating the sequence of the discovery, but omitting the letter I (sometimes J was omitted instead).
Provisional designations for comets are given condensed or "packed form" in the same manner as asteroids.

 Astronomical Names
Satellites of the planets are assigned a provisional designation (indicating year of discovery) by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBAT) upon satisfactory demonstration of the existence of a new object.
The provisional designation is the year, followed by a letter that indicates the half-month during which the discovery occurred, followed by a letter that indicates sequence within the half-month.
In the past, Comets were first given a provisional designation, consisting of the year and a lowercase letter indicating the order of discovery in the year (e.g., 1994a was the first comet discovered or recovered in 1994, 1994b the second, etc.).

 Names of Solar System objects and surface features
New discoveries are assigned provisional designations including "S/" for satellite, the year of discovery, the first letter of the planet name, and a number indicating sequential discoveries that year; e.g.
From around 1950 to the end of 1994, as discovered a comet would be initially designated by the year of discovery (or recovery, in the case of returning comets) and a lower-case letter indicating discovery sequence in that year (1982i was the 9th comet discovered in 1982).
The designation incorporates a letter for type of comet (P/ for periodic or short-period, C/ for non-periodic, D/ for those which no longer exist, and X/ for those where no orbit can be determined), the year of observation, an upper-case letter for the half-month of discovery, and a number for discovery sequence.

 The names and catalogues of variable stars
I hope I will be forgiven for taking the liberty of designating by a letter a star which does not appear in the Bayer catalogue but it seems to me that owing to their originality, variable stars are entitled to claim such a distinction.
This type of designation was used successively for Ophiuchus, in 1929 also, for the Swan in 1933, the Centaur and the Scorpion in 1936 and the Eagle in 1937.
While waiting for a definitive designation and in order to allow a rapid and unambiguous identification, a star reported to be variable is generally given a provisional designation.

 emm Typing and Validation of Provisional M Types for Group A Streptococci1
Even though it is not uniformly agreed that OF typing antisera results should be reported as M or provisional M-typing results, anti-OF antisera in many situations predict the M type in a type-specific manner.
In addition to determining the emm types of reference strains of M-types 1 to 81, several provisional type strains as well as new sequence type strains were typed by the emm typing procedure.
Other reference laboratories have reported these new M types (by using provisional type identifiers) in a variety of infections, including rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis (17,18).

In its reply CERN contends that the procedure for designating her career path - the purpose of which was not advancement - was carried out according to objective criteria and in compliance with the applicable rules.
It observes once again that her reference to general principles on the designation of career paths is irrelevant: the only issue is whether the Administration followed the proper procedure.
The guidelines on the designation of provisional career paths prescribed path III for anyone in category 5c (office work) and on a grade 6 post "where that grade was attained after age 38".
