Abstract
A method for installing a file system () in a portable data carrier () comprises the steps of reading in specification data (SD) that at least partly describe the file system () at the semantic level, interpreting the read-in specification data (SD) by means of a processor core () of the data carrier (), and installing the file system () in accordance with the interpreted specification data (SD) in a memory () of the data carrier (). A computer-readable data carrier () and a device () for initializing and/or personalizing a portable data carrier () are equipped for storing specification data (SD) and/or transferring them into a portable data carrier () in accordance with the invention. The invention makes available a technique for installing a file system () in a data carrier () that reduces the hitherto strong dependency between the file format used and internal aspects of the operating system of the data carrier ().
