28: \section{File and directory names}
29: \label{sec:file-directory-names}
30:
31: File and directory names should not contain spaces. Allowed characters
32: in filenames are only the alphanumeric set a-z, A-Z, 0-9, hyphen
33: ``-'', underscore ``\_'' and dot ``.''.
34:
35: Files and directories with names that contain illegal characters must
36: be transformed to allowed names. A proposition for a simple
37: transformation rule is
38:
39: \begin{itemize}
40: \item whitespace characters (e.g. blank, tab, cr, lf) are replaced by
41: hyphens ``-''
42:
43: \item other illegal characters are replaced by underscores ``\_''.
44: \end{itemize}
45:
46: This rule does not provide a reversible mapping to the original
47: illegal file name and it does not provide a collision-free mapping,
48: i.e. two different illegal file names might be mapped to the same
49: allowed file name. Additional precautions for these cases must be
50: taken.
51:
52:
53: \section{Metadata files}
54: \label{sec:metadata-files}
55:
56: The metadata information is stored in the XML format documented below
57: in special files in the resource directory. Two forms of metadata
58: files are possible:
59: \begin{itemize}
60: \item a file named \texttt{index.meta} in a directory.
61:
62: \item a file with the same name as the data file it describes and an
63: additional extension \texttt{.meta}. For example metadata for the
64: file \texttt{p0001.tif} would be in a file \texttt{p0001.tif.meta}.
65: \end{itemize}
66:
67: The resource directory must contain an \texttt{index.meta} file with
68: information about the resource as a whole. Subdirectories can
69: contain additional \texttt{index.meta} files.
70:
71: Additional information about single data files that are part of the
72: resource can either be put in \texttt{file} tags in the
73: \texttt{index.meta} file or in separate \emph{filename}\texttt{.meta}
74: files for each data file. Information from the directory level file is
75: inherited at the file level when it is not overwritten.
76:
77:
78: \section{Resource format}
79: \label{sec:mpiwg-doc}
80:
81: In this description elements marked ``optional'' need not be supplied
82: by the provider of the resource and may be absent in all versions of
83: the metadata file. Elements marked ``required'' must be supplied by
84: the provider of the resource. Elements marked ``deduced'' can be
85: supplied by the provider of the resource but can also be provided by
86: automatic scripts later in the process, these elements must be present
87: in the final file.
88:
89: File and directory paths in the metadata file use the conventional
90: Unix file separator slash ``/''.
91:
92: The outer container element is \texttt{resource}. It has the following
93: \textbf{attributes}:
94:
95: \begin{description}

316: ``scanned document'', for other image data ``scanned
317: images''.\footnote{The criterion for documents is a ordered
318: succession of image files (pages) and equal image size and
319: resolution throughout the images of a resource.}

349:
350: The context of a resource as part of a collection or part of a project
351: can be specified in the \texttt{context} element. The context element
352: can appear multiple times if the resource is part of multiple
353: collections or projects.
354:
355: \begin{description}

397:
398:
399: \subsection{Bibliographic information}
400: \label{sec:bibliographic-data}
401:
402: Bibliographic information is presented in a \texttt{bib} container with
403: a \texttt{type} parameter, giving the type of bibliographic resource.
404: The \texttt{type} field can be repeated as a tag in the container.
405:
406: The format is based on the ECHO scheme for bibliographic data (cf.
407: content workflow), the MPIWG ``Projektbibliografie'' and the format of
408: the commonly used program ``EndNote''.
