Archive, folders, files
Folders are digital entities that “contain” files. This is by analogy to a physical folder. (In fact, a digital folder points to data (the files) that are stored apart for the folder itself.)
Files are digital entities that “contain” data such as data, images, videos, etc.
The archive may be conceived as a super folder, that contains a set of folders.

Because of this correlation, I will describe together, in this chapter, the structure of both the constituents and the archive. This correlation is highlighted in Figures 12-1 and 12-2 (section 32.9, bottom of this page), which present graphically and side by side the data discussed below.

Directories and files
As indicated above (3.1), the structure of the archive mirrors that of the label (4). In other words, subdirectories and files correspond to the various segments of the label, as highlighted graphically the juxtaposition of charts 12-1 and 12-2 given below.
