11.B. Metadata File-Naming Convention and Directory Structure
Metadata, including headers and associated files, are also found on GLOBE Volume 1 and on the GLOBE Web site according to the directory structure listed below. The prefixes of all the metadata file names are the same as the associated data or
source file. The file extensions, listed in parentheses next to the directory name, vary according to the type of file. As an example, "a10g.clr" would be tile A, version number 1.0, G.O.O.D. data, Arc/INFO (and ArcView) palette
file. The file would be found in the directory /data/elevation/esri/clr. All of the filenames on the CD-ROMs are stored in lowercase.
