Appendix A. Naming Conventions

To ease the usage of the supplied files, all of which are within a XML-derivate, we use a naming convention for the file extensions to allow a distinction between the contents with a single look. The list of used extensions is showed below. We of course highly encourage you to use this pattern, but if you have a better idea, let us know.
