Using triple letter tokens for naming projects variables folders and self locating files
Having strict TLA boundaries can be very powerful meta data
Many exceptions gladly accepted, this is not a rigid guideline.
We have Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure measurements taken sitting and laying down
at many dates.
THINK OF KINGDOM, PHYLUM, CLASS AND ORDER HIERARCHY
=====================================================
For sitting systolic blood pressure, why not use
BpsSitDte instrad of 'SPBDATESIT'
Bp Blood Pressure Kingdom
s s - systolic, d-diastolic Phylum
Sit Lay - Supine, Sit - Sitting Class
Dte Dte, WekAve, WekMax DteMax .. Order
I have seen clinical trials tha use 'SPBDATESIT'
Some Possble BP names using TLA building blocks)
BpdLayDte
BpdLayWekAve ( same number of lettters as SPBDATESUPN )
BpsLayDte
BpsLayDteMax
BpdSitDte
BpdSitWekMin
BpsSitDte
BpsSitMthMax
FILENAME FOLDERS
================
I also use TLA hierachies with my filenames and folders.
rtf reports for project dna are in
dns/rtf
dna/rtf/dna_BasExpSex.rtf
dna/rtf/dna_BasExpAge.rtf
dna/rtf/dna_BasExpBsa.rtf
dna/rtf/dna_BasExpStg.rtf
SELF LOCATING FILES
===================
If I send the exposure report by sex to Joe
dna_BasExpSex.rtf
and a year later Joe sends the name of the
file and asks me to resend
I can instantly locate the report using the tokens
in the filename
root folder is
dna
subfolder
rtf
the report is located at
/dna/rtf/dna_BasExpAge.rtf
AFTER DATABASE LOCK
===================
Renane the root to
dna_crisper_gene_splicing_trial
leave subfolders names alone
