# mimetype

# Mime Type

Mime type for a graphic, multimedia object, or piece of supplementary material.

## Remarks

Best Practice: The source for this attribute’s “ `image` ” value is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). This attribute should be required when creating new articles.

Best Practice: Although this Tag Set cannot enforce it, the element <graphic> should be limited to still images. The element <media> should be reserved for objects whose @mime-subtype involves video, audio, moving images, time-dependent graphic types, and other non-XML data types. Mimetypes and subtypes should be set accordingly but are not constrained by this Tag Set.
