WRLC Digital Collections Production Center (DCPC) Guidebook

File Naming Convention

WRLC uses a standard file directory and file name convention for all DCPC collections. Digital object files are stored on the WRLC server under a URL consisting of:

  • http://www.aladin.wrlc.org/dbdata
  • /Collection name/
  • /display/ or /master/
  • An individual item identifier corresponding to the item's original Box# Folder# Item# and Page # (if any). The actual source location would be used if applicable, or an identifier would be constructed according to this structure.

For example, a display image for a single photo from Catholic University's Powderly collection would be identified as:

http://www.aladin.wrlc.org/dbdata/powderly/display/b1-a05-001.jpg

Each digital object may be accessed from any other Web source by using that URL to identify the object.
