AI-generated Key Takeaways
The <resource> entity is used to define supplemental information related to an <info> object.
It includes elements like <resourceDesc>, <mimeType>, <size>, <uri>, <defeUri>, and <digest> to describe the resource.
The <resourceDesc> element describes the type and content, while <mimeType> specifies the MIME type.
The <uri> or <defeUri> element provides access to the resource file, either through a URI or Base64 encoded data.
Optional elements like <size> and <digest> provide additional information about the resource's size and integrity.
To define supplemental information related to an <info> object, use the
<resource> entity.
resource entity sub-elements
Element name
Optionality
Type
CAP and Google notes and requirements
<resourceDesc>
REQUIRED
string
The value of the <resourceDesc> element is text that
describes the type and content of the resource file. Examples are
map and photo.
<mimeType>
REQUIRED
string
The value of the <mimeType> element is an identifier
of the MIME media type and subtype as described in
RFC 2046.
<size>
OPTIONAL
float
The value of the <size> element is an integer that
indicates the size of the resource file in bytes.
<uri>
OPTIONAL
string
The value of the <uri> element is a full absolute
URI to the resource file or a relative URI that names the content of a
<defeUri> element.
<defeUri>
CONDITIONAL
string
The value of the <defeUri> element is the Base64
encoded data content of the resource file. If you can't use a URI to
retrieve a resource, then you can use the <defeUri>
element with or instead of the <uri> element in
messages like broadcasts that are transmitted over one-way data
links.
<digest>
OPTIONAL
string
The value of the <digest> element is code that
represents the digital digest computed from the resource file. To
calculate the <digest> element value, use the Secure
Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) described in
FIPS 180-2.
