mime types for DDI

[Olof Olsson]

Hi!

This was something i was thinking about bringling up on the last DDI Developers meeting.

I know this topic have been discussed a few years ago but there is currently still not recommendation or documentation about prefered mimetypes for DDI representations.

Looking arround it seems like the mime type should never include the version but rather the product so thing would mean something like this (for the XML representations):

application/vnd.ddi.ddi-c+xml
application/vnd.ddi.ddi-l+xml
application/vnd.ddi.ddi-cdi+xml

This is inspired by the listing from DataCites specified content types in thier documentation:
https://support.datacite.org/docs/datacite-content-resolver

Would be happy for any suggestions or comments and if anyone think this is something we could find an agreement on and suggest as a part of the official documentation.

Will add this as a discussion point on the next virtual DDI Developers Meeting.

Best regards,

Olof
