Actually, I think that EMV doesn't explicitly refer to File Identifiers --
it gives ranges of Short File Identifiers (not quite the same thing) where
certain data elements must be stored and it tells you how to find out which
SFIs are in use by means of the Application File Locator.
As I understand it the EMV philosophy is a move towards the direction that
files are not important and that data objects should be only be accessed by
referring to their tag.
Maybe this amounts to the same thing as a file based system but means that
EMV doesn't help if you want to know in which file to store something.
