UCS Delimiters

The UCS allows the use of whitespace and has specific rules for the use of the underscore (_) and hyphen (-) delimiters:

  • - Prefix UserCategory

  • _ Suffix CatID if no UserCategory

  • _ Suffix UserCategory

  • - Suffix VendorCategory

  • _ Prefix CreatorID

  • _ Prefix SourceID

  • _ Prefix UserData

These delimiter characters must not be used anywhere else in the file name. Correct usage is essential for computer software such as sound effect library databases to parse the UCS names correctly.

For detailed information, refer to the Universal Category System website.
