Hierarchical naming has been used in file systems for the last several decades.As the number of files stored in file systems increases the weakness of hierarchical naming is getting recognized.Some researchers have proposed hybrid naming schemes whichintroduce attribute-based naming into hierarchical naming.However they are unsatisfactory or too complicated.In this paper we propose a hybrid naming scheme called HK (Hierarchical-Keyword-based) naming.In HK naming a file is named by a set of keywords and keywords are organized hierarchically.It integrated hierarchical naming and attribute-based naming in a simple way.To show the practicality of our naming scheme we implemented the prototype of the filename management system on UNIX file systems.
