Joliet (jō`lēĕt'), city (1990 pop. 76,836), seat of Will co., NE Ill., on the Des Plaines River; inc. 1857. It is a river port and an industrial shipping center, with limestone quarries and coal mines in the area, but riverboat casino gambling is now the city's primary industry. Machinery, electronic and transportation equipment, chemicals, and metal and paper products are made in Joliet, and there are oil refineries. Joliet is the seat of the College of St. Francis, and there are several state correctional facilites in or near the city.
(standard, storage)Joliet - An extension of the ISO 9660:1988 ISO standard file system for CD-ROMs that allows Unicode characters in file names and other enhancements. Version 1 of Joliet was released on 1995-05-22.

Joiliet supports file and directory names up to 128 bytes (64 unicode characters) long, directory names with file name extensions, a directory hierarchy deeper than 8 levels and the volume recognition sequence supports multisession.

Joliet uses ISO 9660's "supplementary volume descriptor" (SVD) to specify Unicode files. Use of the previously unused escape sequence ISO 2022 means that Joliet is backward compatible with ISO 9660..
