An Internet media type, originally called a MIME type after MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) and sometimes a Content-type after the name of a header in several protocols whose value is such a type, is a two-part identifier for file formats on the Internet.
A media type is composed of at least two parts: a type, a subtype, and one or more optional parameters. For example, subtypes of text type have an optional charset parameter that can be included to indicate the character encoding, and subtypes of multipart type often define a boundary between parts. In iKnowBase they are used to describe a page.
Format in iKnowbase is a suffix to the name of a computer file applied to indicate the encoding convention (file format) of its contents. In iKnowbase they describe how to store and index the content of the file.
This section describes the properties of a Mimetype, as shown on the corresponding Edit pane tabs.
