   * Level 2: Classification by filename
   * Level 3: Metadata information in the [[filereference:edx_edi|. EDX File]]
+For simple Text files, Level 3 data are not available, so that the filename and filename extension provide information about the content of the files.

-==== Sumary on File Identifiers ====
+==== File Name Identifiers: Overview ====
+Especially for pure text files it is not possible to store metadata in the file itself. So we must use the filename and filename extension to identify the contend of the files.
+The list below provides a summary on the different file IDs thatare used all through ENVI-met at different occasions to identify the content of a file.
