FILE NAMING CHEAT SHEET

THE PATTERN
  projectcode_description_vNN.ext

  Element        Rule                                              Example
  -------------  ------------------------------------------------  -------------
  Project code   Short, lowercase, the same for every file         bbwdp
  Description    1-4 words, lowercase, separated by hyphens (-)    core-patient01
  Version        v + two digits                                    v01, v02
  Separator      Underscore (_) between elements

Many projects also start file names with a date (YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD), so files
sort in time order. This dataset is de-identified and has no real dates, so we leave
the date out.

DO
- Keep names short but meaningful.
- Use only letters a-z, digits 0-9, hyphens (-) and underscores (_).
- Use leading zeros (patient01, v01) so files sort correctly.

DON'T
- No spaces:               data patient 2.csv
- No special characters:   ! ? ( ) & # % ' " , é
- No vague words:          final, new, old, copy, stuff
