[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1012) Add additional fields to MimeType reader

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1012?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13492428#comment-13492428 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-1012:
-------------------------------------

Looks good, though it would be better if such custom fields were namespaced as the shared mime-info database spec says: "Applications may also define their own elements, provided they are namespaced to prevent collisions."

> Currently the MimeType class exposes a description (_comment).  It would be nice to also expose:
>  * Acronym (this is already in tika-mimetypes.xml, see <acronym>BMP</acronym>)
>  * Links, add helper docs for some formats
>  * UTI, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Type_Identifier
> A sample entry would look like this:
> {code:xml}
>  <mime-type type="image/x-ms-bmp">
>     <alias type="image/bmp"/>
>     <acronym>BMP</acronym>
>     <_comment>Windows bitmap</_comment>
>     <_link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format</_link>
>     <_uti>com.microsoft.bmp</_uti>
>     <magic priority="50">
>       ...
> {code}
