If that's the case, we lose the coding system / terminology of the mime types that are defined.

It would be better to make DV_PARSABLE.formalism of type CODE_PHRASE instead of String and use "local" for the terminology_id of those formalisms that doesn't have a mime type.


well actually we could do that and put all those other formalisms into the openEHR terminology.

The original idea was to allow (encourage) MIME types as strings, and then outside of MIME, any other formats just as their own short string, e.g. 'mp5' (imagine it exists), or 'adl'.

There are a lot of formats that are essentially text/plain, but the format is actually parseable, e.g. glif3, most programming languages and so on. So 'text/plain' isn't that useful a thing to know.

I wonder if we have to give in and have two fields, one that is a MIME type field (the current one) and a second field that has a term defining the semantic format, mostly applicable when the MIME type field is text/plain, text/xml and other text types.
