1. Metadata Reference
Alliance extracts basic metadata from the resources ingested. Many file types contain additional file format-specific metadata attributes. A neutral Catalog Taxonomy enables transformation of metadata to other formats. See also a list of all formats supported for ingest.
1.1. Common Metadata Attributes
Alliance supports a wide variety of file types and data types for ingest. The Alliance’s internal Input Transformers extract the necessary data into a generalized format. Alliance supports ingest of many datatypes and commonly used file formats, such as Microsoft office products: including Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations, as well as .pdf files, GeoJson, and others. See complete list. Many of these file types support additional file format-specific attributes from which additional metadata can be extracted.
|
Note
|
These attributes are available in all the specified file formats; however, values are only present if present in the original document/resource. |
These attributes are supported by any file type ingested into Alliance:
-
metadata
-
id
-
modified (date)
-
title (filename)
-
metadata content type (mime type)
-
effective (date)
-
created (date)
These 'media' file types have support for additional attributes to be available when ingested into Alliance:
-
Video Types
-
WMV
-
AVI
-
MP4
-
MOV
-
h.264 MPEG2
-
-
Image Types
-
JPEG-2000
-
-
Document Types
-
.DOC, .DOCX, .DOTX, .DOCM
-
.PPT, .PPTX
-
.XLS, .XLSX
-
.PDF
-
These are the attributes common to any of the media file types which support additional attributes:
-
media.format-version -
media.format -
media.bit-rate -
media.bits-per-sample -
media.compression -
media.encoding -
media.frame-center -
media.frame-rate -
media.height-pixels -
media.number-of-bands -
media.scanning-mode -
media.type -
media.duration -
media.page-count -
datatype -
description -
contact.point-of-contact-name -
contact.contributor-name -
contact.creator-name -
contact.publisher-name -
contact.point-of-contact-phone -
topic.keyword
1.2. File Format-specific Attributes
Many file formats support additional metadata attributes that Alliance is able to extract and make discoverable.
1.2.2. All File Formats Supported
Using the various input transformers, Alliance supports ingest of the following MIME types. While ingest is possible for these files, metadata is limited unless otherwise noted.

1.3. Catalog Taxonomy Definitions
To facilitate data sharing while maximizing the usefulness of metadata, the attributes on resources are normalized into a common taxonomy that maps to attributes in the desired output format.
