I am posting this to the list for a colleague. She works in an art museum, and is embarking on a digitization project. Her quandry involves naming the electronic files associated with different scanned views of the same object. I work in a library, and the materials we scanned (images.kclibrary.org) were unique unto themselves, thus I didn't have to deal multiple views of the same object. I believe she's going with CD-ROM for storage purposes, and thus is limited to 8 characters as a file name (the original accession numbers for the objects often run longer than that).Any suggestions, tips, etc.?
Thanks in advance.
