Guidelines for the Identifier Element

Label

Identifer

Element Description

In this field, an identifier is given to the image that is unique to that particular image. This unique identifier can then be used for referencing or linking to the specific image when needed.

This element is required.

Repeatable?

This element is not repeatable; there can only be one unique identifier per image.

Guidelines for Creation of Content

Note: Please enter the data for the date element first! You will need this information to create the identifier for the image.

The identifier for each image is composed of two elements.

The first part of the unique identifier is the date the image was taken. Please remove any dashes from the date.

For example, the date for the 1975 Missouri game (1975-09-08) will be entered as 19750908. The date of the 2009 Texas game (2010-01-07) will be entered as 20100107.

The second part of the unique identifier is a portion of the original file name of the image. This portion is the part of the original file name that is not related to the date of the game or the opponent Alabama was playing.

For example, the part of the file name that would be pulled from the photo with file name 75_Missouri_021 is 021. The part of the file name that would be pulled from the photo with file name MFB_Texas09_CJ02674 is CJ02674.

These two pieces will be combined (without spaces) to create the unique identifier (see examples below).

Examples

The identifier for file 75_Missouri_021 would be: 1975090821

The identifier for file MFB_Texas09_CJ02674 would be: 20100107CJ02674

Notes

Provide additional information about your element, including links to other guidelines with examples that clarify your entry.
