Attachments¶
An attachment is a container for data or “content” that may follow any structure - from an atomic type to a complex hierarchy. However, it is desirable for processing and interoperability that the type - or structure - of the content be identified by a simple value. To this end the attachment also contains a “content type”, i.e., a URI that identifies the kind of content.
Attachments are intended to be used for inclusion of domain-specific, informative, or descriptive information.
