Figure 1. Illustration of some of the ways in which subtle aspects of data organisation impact its usability.

These include: 1) long file/folder names with spaces, non-ASCII characters (ö) and redundant directories (ASCII – American Standard Code for Information Interchange); 2) obscure names or identifiers, possibly with inconsistent spelling, 3) inconsistency in folder hierarchy, 4) obscurity through meaningless names or identifiers, 5) verbosity in names, 6) subtle differences in spelling (in this case, a hyphen) and 7) inconsistency in typography due to character case and inclusion of different separator characters, e.g., spaces vs hyphens.
