if look into what Vray had done, they must have two variable related to a material, so the material from a link is still keep their name same (as short ) as they are in the link where it come from, the other variable indicate the full path name of the link file
"Analytical Floor Surface" is the material's name, under it is the link where is it come from.
Anyway to let the model correctly translated into oc and rendered correctly is much more important than how their names look like, if a material is finally named as "such long stupid name_Grass" just shows the programmer is not professional enough or too lazy, yet it can be rendered...
