(RFC 2122 published March 1997, subtype last updated March 1997) MIME media type name: "application" MIME subtype name: "vemmi" Required parameters: none Optional parameters: - version: an optional version number may be specified, in the format: version= The version number is a numeric integer whose is encoded as the parameter defined in ETS 300 709 (e.g. version=100), and whose the first digit represents the major VEMMI version number. It must be pointed out that the VEMMI objects includes the VEMMI version and a timestamp. ENCODING CONSIDERATIONS: The "base64" mechanism is preferred because VEMMI use a native 8-bit binary file format. However, as VEMMI includes its own 7-bits encoding mechanisms, VEMMI data could also be transmitted in 7-bit mode. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: Refer to paragraph 8. INTEROPERABILITY CONSIDERATIONS: VEMMI is designed to be fully platform independent, and the VEMMI objects and contents could interoperate between any platform. The only exception are the VEMMI operative objects that could be binary programs specific to a given hardware platform and operating system.
