A file storage architecture in which individual files are stored in separate, hierarchical directories. The directory is the map to where the file is stored. Most systems will store files in a default directory unless otherwise specified. Election systems will store files in directories on both internal and external storage media. Finding a file requires the election official to know not only the file name, but also the directory name in which the file is stored.
