File Naming Convention Worksheet

This worksheet walks researchers through the process of creating a file naming convention for a group of files. This process includes: choosing metadata, encoding and ordering the metadata, adding version information, and properly formatting the file names. Two versions of the worksheet are available: a Caltech Library branded version and a generic editable version

File Naming in Digital Media Research: Examples from the Humanities and Social Sciences

This paper identifies organizational challenges faced by Social Science and Humanities (SSH) scholars when dealing with digital data and media, and suggests improved file naming practices in order to maximize organization, making files easier to find, more useable, and more easily shared. We argue that such skills are not formally discussed in the literature and therefore many scholars do not recognize the problem until they cannot locate a specific file or are sharing files with colleagues. We asked SSH scholars to share their file naming strategies (or lack thereof ) and we use these narrative anecdotes to discuss common problems and suggest possible solutions for their general file naming needs

The USL NASA PC R and D development environment standards

The development environment standards which have been established in order to control usage of the IBM PC/XT development systems and to prevent interference between projects being currently developed on the PC's are discussed. The standards address the following areas: scheduling PC resources; login/logout procedures; training; file naming conventions; hard disk organization; diskette care; backup procedures; and copying policies

File Naming Standards for Digital Collections

This paper discusses file naming standards for the digitization of physical items and outlines the naming conventions used in the University of Iowa\u27s Szathmary Collection

Lesson Plan for File Naming, Organization, Storage

The teaching data management discussion focused on creating lesson plans for different data management instruction sessions. Participants picked audience, form and length of the session, and topic and then crafted a lesson plan to fit the session. This lesson plan was produced by symposium participants and covers file naming, organization, and storage

METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC FILE NAMING OF SCANNED DOCUMENTS

When scanning a document, the goal in most cases is to obtain another printed copy. However, there are many situations in which the user would like to keep a digital copy of the document (e. g., in a cloud storage service or in the user’s own local device). To this end, the user usually needs to choose and type a meaningful file name, which makes it easier to find that document again in the future. The task of choosing and typing a filename is usually tedious and, depending on the number of documents that are to be scanned, impractical. The proposed invention is a simple method to suggest a file name that relies on Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and the layout of the text boxes in the page extracted by the OCR engine
