The web page here says we should use the WLCG name: UK-T1-RAL
http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gocwiki/How_to_publish_my_site_information
I know when I encouraged SouthGrid sites to set it we took advice from this or an earlier edition of it, but we chose
RAL-LCG2, so I was think we got it wrong...

Hi Richard
We should adopt the official name which is given in the GOCDB and that
is RAL-LCG2. Unless of course the Tier-1 intends to rename itself.
Perhaps those using UK-T1-RAL (which is a more logical name) could
explain where it came from initially?
Thanks,
Jeremy
