MIME-Type

A MIME media type are a specification of a content type on a network. Each MIME type is assigned by IANA and consists of two parts: the type and sub-type. Common examples are: text/plain, application/json and application/pdf.

MIME type properties do not contain parameters as used in HTTP headers, like charset=UTF-8.

Matchable types allow properties to be compared with each other in order to assess entity similarity.

Pivot types are a stronger form of matchable types and can be used to find similar entities based on simple value lookups.
