Components

1. [Disease] - Disease acronym (e.g., MS, IBD, UC).
2. [Project] - Consortium or project code (e.g., 3TR, PRECISESADS).
3. [StudyID] - Unique study identifier (e.g., Study123, CohortA).
4. [Source] - Data origin/type.
5. [Date|Version] - Either:
   • Date: YYYYMMDD, or
   • Version: vN or vN.N.N.
6. .ext - File extension: (any)

Example Sources

• Source:
