# Naming conventions
|
|
|
|
[Up: Organising data](./organising data)

|
A good naming convention helps keep your data organised. OMERO has powerful searching functions that allow you search the metadata attached to the files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some scripts have added to OMERO to help fill in image metadata from file names. [Key-values](./key-value_pairs.md) pairs are a very flexible way to record the meta data associated with you data. If the names of file stick to following conventions it will be much easier to keep your of your data organised.

### Naming conventions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Don't use whitespace.
|
|
|
|
2. Record the import variables (values) in the file name
|
|
|
|
3. Separate values by underscore the `_`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## An Example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case the file names are storing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Date of the experiment (different from imaging date)
|
|
|
|
* dosage (cont, low and high)
|
|
|
|
* Time in hours
|
|
|
|
* replicate number
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Time 1 hour | Time 4 hours |
|
