objectType OutputFormat

An output format supported by the service. All TAP services must support VOTable output, preserving the MIME type of the input. Other output formats are optional. The primary identifier for an output format is the MIME type. If you want to register an output format, you must use a MIME type (or make one up using the x- syntax), although the concrete MIME syntax is not enforced by the schema. For more detailed specification, an IVORN may be used.

name type mult description
mime ivoa:string The MIME type of this format. The format of this string is specified by RFC 2045. The service has to accept this string as a value of the FORMAT parameter.
alias ivoa:string 0 or more Other values of FORMAT ('shorthands') that make the service return documents with the MIME type.
ivoid ivoa:anyURI An optional IVORN of the output format. When the MIME type does not uniquely define the format (or a generic MIME like application/octet-stream or text/plain is given), the IVORN can point to a key or StandardsRegExt document defining the format more precisely. To see values defined in TAPRegExt, retrieve the ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAPRegExt resource record and look for keys starting with 'output-'.
