Message definition (Digitization, Preservation and Ingest)
While our digital surrogates’ files have already been named in line with the naming convention we developed and adopted, our born-digital files might still have their original names. We must therefore apply our naming convention to the born-digital files and name them accordingly. Their names will then contain the same components—identification, description, technical, or other—as those we selected and used for the digital surrogates in a way that was described in the digitization chapter. There are reasonably simple and easy-to-use software tools that can perform this task of renaming our digital files automatically within the parameters we set for it, such as “Rename Master” and “File Renamer Basic.”
