Appendix IV: Entity table#

This section compiles the entities (key-value pairs) described throughout this specification, and establishes a common order within a filename. For example, if a file has an acquisition and reconstruction label, the acquisition entity must precede the reconstruction entity. REQUIRED and OPTIONAL entities for a given file type are denoted; empty cells imply that entities MUST NOT be specified. Entity formats indicate whether the value is alphanumeric (<label>) or numeric (<index>).

A general introduction to entities is given in the section on filename structure, while entity definitions are in Appendix IX.
