Guidelines for the creation of format content
For the description of the file format we recommend to use a controlled vocabulary - e.g. the list of Internet Media Types(MIME).
format | mime | jpeg |
You should repeat the properties when more than one type of value exists.
format | mime | jpeg |
format | 40 x 512 pixels |
