Each metadata field or definition belongs to a metadata family. MediaHaven fields are those fields whose family is different from Dynamic.
Family | Ownership | Fields Modifiable? | Fields can be inherited? | Description | Since |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Descriptive | MediaHaven | Yes | Yes | Descriptive fields are modifiable fields that describe files for purposes such as discovery. |  |
Administrative | MediaHaven | No | No | Administrative Fields are human readable read-only fields which are used for managing and preserving files in MediaHaven. |  |
Technical | MediaHaven | No | No | Technical fields are read-only fields whose values are inherent to data file itself. (Re)-ingesting the file, possibly in a different MediaHaven, will result in exactly the same values. | Â |

RecordInformation | MediaHaven | Mixed | No | Additional metadata fields for non Archive Information Package records. |
