Where the view name comes from ?

When we specify

reviews = serializers.HyperlinkedRelatedField(
                                            many=True, 
                                            read_only=True,
                                            view_name='apiv2:review-detail',
                                            )

I can understand where apiv2 part comes from but where review-detail comes from ? Is this some kind of django-rest convention or something ?

Thanks
