File Naming Conventions
All files that enter the database must conform to the naming conventions described on this wiki page.
...
If there is more than one digital image related to a specific record, you must add a few describing words that differentiates the surrogates from others related to the work. For example, you may have a sculpture and several digital images representing different view points of the work. Add a dash to the accession number with a short describing word. Ex: 1998.243-front.jpg or 1998.243-rside.jpg The words you use for the sub title do not need to conform to any style but try to choose a sub title that would be obvious to someone who has never looked at the file. All images of works are saved in Collab > Departments > TEMU > TEMU-Only > Images. The digital image must be dragged from this location on the server, not from the desktop or a local file on your computer. Also, the file must be edited prior to being added to the record as EmbARK creates a permanent thumbnail and preview image of the file when it is first added to the database.
Documents
Works may have digital documents that need to be attached to the record such as a word doc of wall text, or a scanned pdf of the gift agreement. All digital documents must contain a subtitle describing how the document relates to the record. Ex: 1998.243-valuation1999.pdf Ex: 1998.243-walltext2004.doc As with the digital images, the words you use to describe the subtitle should be clear and different from other files related to the work, but don't necessarily need to conform to a standard. All digital documents are saved in
