CORE Document

The CORE Document serves the purpose of LIST-INFO metadata exchange between AVI MetaEdit and other applications. AVI MetaEdit can import and export CORE Documents as XML or CSV. Once imported into AVI MetaEdit the CORE information can be edited and embedded into video files. For files with existing LIST-INFO metadata, AVI MetaEdit can display and export this data as a CORE document. A CORE document template can be generated within AVI MetaEdit or with another application. The CORE document lists one record per video file.
 
The CORE Document is essentially a list of filepaths associated with LIST-INFO values. Please see LIST-INFO for more information and validation documentation for information on the correct use of these standards.

CORE Document CSV Format

A CSV formatted (RFC 4180) CORE Document must use the following structure and value parameters:
