Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record the MIME media type a gmeow:Filename's extension CLAIMS — the type asserted by the name, to be compared against the type detected from the bytes.

Avoid when

• Avoid treating the claim as the truth (the bytes' gmeow:detectedMediaType may disagree) and avoid resolving a mismatch into a contradiction — both coexist as confidence-weighted claims.

How to use

• Set gmeow:claimedMediaType on a Filename from its extension; pair with gmeow:detectedMediaType and let a disagreement coexist rather than asserting disjointness.

Examples

• ex:report gmeow:claimedMediaType "application/pdf".
