There are no universal rules for file naming, and each organization needs to develop its own naming convention that best suits its archival needs. However, the name of a digital surrogate should always provide a reference, a connection between itself and the physical item from which it was created through digitization. In principle, a file name should contain several components that identify it, for example, its unique identifying number, its date of creation, a reference to its content, series, subseries, or folder it is a part of.
