 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A **Filename** provides the name used to identify a file within an applicable file-naming context.
 +
 +A Filename may include a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:file_extension|File Extension]], but an extension is not required.
 +
 +Examples of filenames include:
 +
 +><code>
 +report.pdf
 +model.json
 +README
 +LICENSE
 +Makefile
 +</code>
 +
 +The rules governing valid filenames depend on the applicable environment. Such rules may govern permitted characters, reserved names, maximum length, case sensitivity, escaping, quoting, or other naming constraints.
 +
 +A Filename identifies the file by name. It does not, by itself, identify the location of the file. Location is represented by a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:f:file_path|File Path]] or another applicable location mechanism.

 +===== Note =====
 +
 +A Filename may include a File Extension, but a File Extension is not required.
 +
 +A Filename may require escaping or quoting when represented in a particular logical or physical environment. Such representation rules do not change the conceptual Filename.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +The following are examples of Filenames:
 +
 +><code>
 +test-results.json
 +architecture.svg
 +README
 +</code>
 +
 +In:
 +
 +><code>
 +test-results.json
 +</code>
 +
 +''test-results.json'' is the Filename and ''json'' is the File Extension.
