[HUBERT & PATSY (a little bit of [LINDA]]

  1. DONE For each pdf and word document, change the name of the word and pdf files to conform to the filename style guide.  
  2. DONE  I have created the compliant names in the GSheet (column D).

  5. Return to WordPress – protected area page and confirm the link works
  6. Once all areas have been uploaded, this is the end of the ‘lift and shift phase’ of the project

DONE – File Naming Conventions and Metadata

Naming conventions for these files are as follows:

  • File name suffix indicates the type of protected area the file represents (e.g. na = Natural Area).
  • Where a protected area has both an Order in Council (OC) and a Protected Notation (PNT) designation, two separate files were created by adding these abbreviations as ‘pre-suffix’ (e.g. [AREA]_OC-na.
  • Natural areas with the name of ‘Heritage Rangelands’ in their file name were given the pre-suffix abbreviation of “[AREA]-HertgRgld-na”.
  • Metadata for each file:
