NMOS Flow Attributes

This Flow Attributes parameter register contains extensible attributes and their permitted values which may be used in Flow resources within the AMWA IS-04 NMOS Discovery and Registration Specification.

Criteria
Attributes

Criteria

Each entry MUST be associated with an existing defined NMOS Format, and MAY additionally relate to a specific media_type.
Each entry MUST define or refer to an existing unique attribute name within the scope of a Flow.
Each entry MUST have a short description.
Each entry MUST identify any AMWA Specifications and versions from which it is valid.
Each entry MUST define all permitted values for the attribute, either via an explicit list, well-defined references or both.
Entries MAY be used to expand the set of permitted values associated with an existing extensible attribute.
Each entry MUST link to a schema definition held within this repository (unless covered by a schema within the original specification).
Additions and updates to this parameter register are to be submitted via a Pull Request (PR) according to the General Procedures and Criteria.

As noted in IS-04 v1.3, new Flow attributes may be defined here as opposed to requiring a new version of the specification.

Query APIs and their clients which support v1.3 of IS-04 or operate in a mixed-version environment MUST be tolerant to the presence of Flow attributes and values which may be added at a later date. This is further detailed in the IS-04 Upgrade Path document.

Attributes

Note: JSON schemas supporting validation of all the attributes defined in this register are available as flow_video_register.json and flow_audio_register.json. These MAY be used in addition to the schemas, such as flow_video.json and flow_audio.json, found in the AMWA IS-04 specification.
