Scenario

Who hasn't opened a folder just to be greeted by an Untitled 2 copy.docx or something similar. File names can be a source of semantic metadata about files. While they never should be the only source of metadata about a file, they should be meaningful and reliable.

Solution

Follow a consistent pattern when naming files in your dataset, e.g. DCH File Naming Guidelines. 2023. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7447485.
