File Organization

Keeping track of versions of documents and datasets is critical. Strategies include:

Directory structure naming conventions
- Directory top-level folder should include the project title, unique identifier, and date.
- The substructure should have a clear and documented naming convention, such as numbering or naming the experiment runs, dataset versions, and/or researchers.
File naming conventions
- Reserve the three letter file extension for application-specific codes, for example, formats like .wrl, .mov, and .tif.
- Identify the activity or project in the file name
