Project Naming Convention Builder — ISO 19650-informed

Sample file name & CDE folder tree informed by ISO 19650-2 · Fields, status codes and field lengths follow project or National Annex convention — requires project approval before use

Naming fields (reference template, ISO 19650-2 Annex A-informed)

This template uses a simplified project–zone–discipline–fileType–sequence–revision structure. ISO 19650-2 Annex A also lists other fields such as originator and volume/system that this template omits; the field set, code lengths, and folding revision into the file name are project or National Annex conventions — not a universally mandatory ISO field set. Project approval is required before use in contracts or a live CDE.
