Metadata ingest format – editorial-based
The following tables list the elements that can be used in an XML ingest file when using the editorial-based model. The table structure indicates the nesting of the elements.
OpenTV Platform requires certain fields to have values for its recommendation functionality to work properly.
Where appropriate, on the right side of the table are the corresponding fields in MDS, CCP, and IHS that are populated with the data. Note that all data is stored by CPM.
If an element or attribute is marked as mandatory, this means that it is mandatory at the level at which it appears. For example, within contentGroup, metadataSet is optional, but if it is present, it must have a locale attribute.
For ION, the meanings of the non-mandatory values are as follows:
Not used means that ION does not use the field at all.
Optional means that ION uses (displays) the field, but if it does not have a value, it does not break anything.
Elements | Fields/attributes | Type | Required | Sample data | Description | ION |
