Next topic: File Naming →

Development of a collaborative community will be greatly facilitated if standard conventions are developed and accepted by the group. These include conventions on time standards and time zones, file names for programs and data, and for archiving.

Conventions cover three topics

• File Naming
• Directory Naming
• Time Conventions
• Common Variable Names
