Translations:Digitization, Preservation and Ingest/51/en

For a digital file intended for archiving and preservation, a name is not just a name. It is also a very important descriptor of that particular item, which should contain information that allows us to identify what the item is and what it contains so we can locate it in the archive and properly manage and preserve it. Therefore, an important element of specifications for digitization is the development and application of a consistent set of rules, a so-called “naming convention” for digital surrogates we create from physical items.
