<DIV>Has anyone wrestled with the issue of consistent file names for objects in DSpace? I'm not sure it is an issue but several of my researchers have brought it up. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To date I have only been working with reprints and my standard has been 'AuthorLastnameDate.pdf' as in: Hutchinson2006.pdf. In the case of multiple publications from one from an author in a given year, I have been adding a, b, c, etc. to the end of the date. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However some scientists have suggested embedding some metadata such as:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hutchinson_AmScientist_pp659-67_2004.pdf </DIV>
<DIV>or </DIV>
<DIV>Hutchinson_AmScientist_freshwater_ecology_2005.pdf</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Should any of this make a difference either now or in some unforseen future situation?</DIV>
