Process


Naming Convention for Maps and Information Products

OCHA Field Map names are made of four parts separated by an underscore: 

  1. The catalogue number, if in use (a good practice for catalogue numbers is to have a three letter code for the country office and a sequential number) 

  2. A short map name (e.g. somalia_3w) 

  3. The paper size (A4, A3, A0, etc)

  4. The date of publication in YYYYMMDD format. 

Examples: 

  • SUM001_aceh_reference_map_a4_20050128

  • LBN001_Lebanon_reference_map_20081029

  • template_sample_a4_20080917
