MSP-1 v1.0.1 Core term

type schema definition

Machine-readable structure describing the string or array-of-strings form used for MSP-1 semantic classification.

Schema notes

The canonical MSP-1 v1.0.1 form for type is either a single string classifier or an array of string classifiers when multiple classifications are semantically justified.

type should not be confused with role or intent. type classifies what something is; role describes what function it serves; intent describes why the content or declaration exists.
