• Test/Beta <strong>Release</strong> File("xsct", "xder", "xres", "xtls") - files distributed as part of a test/beta release, or<br />

as a "technology preview". These files should only be used for review and evaluation purposes. The letter<br />

"x" is inserted in front of the usual FileType code for these files (i.e. "x" + "sct", "der", "res" or "tls").<br />

3.4.2.3. <strong>Format</strong> Tags<br />

A <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong> tag must be appended at the end of the three-letter FileType code if the file named is<br />

dependent on a particular <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong> specification. The allowable <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong> tags are:<br />

• For files that are part of the current <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong>, or applicable only to the current <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong>, the<br />

number "1 " should be appended to the FileType code (e.g. "sct1", "der1", "tls1").<br />

• For files that are part of the RF2 <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong>, or applicable only to the RF2 <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong>, the<br />

number "2 " should be appended to the FileType code (e.g. "sct2", "der2", "res2").<br />

• If the file is not specific to either <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong>, the three-letter FileType code should be used without<br />

a <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong> tag (e.g. "res", "tls" or "doc").<br />

• The FileType code for all terminology and Derivative Work data files ("sct " or "der") must include a <strong>Release</strong><br />

<strong>Format</strong> tag ("1" or "2"). For other file types, the <strong>Release</strong> <strong>Format</strong> tag is optional.<br />
