Definition

Picture is visual reavailableation of a person, object, or scene in binary notation (octets).
Comment:
The Picture can be delivered to a partner using two methods:

Implicit reavailableation as an element value.
As a MIME attachment within a message, with a unique URI-based reference to the corresponding attachment.

Dictionary Entry Name

Picture. Type

Example (Instance)

1.) Representation of Picture as an element value based on base64 encoding:

<Picture typeCode="application/zip" name="photos.pic">
	T2xkIE1hY0RvbmFsZCBoYWQgYSBmYXJtCkUgSS
	BFIEkgTwpBbmQgb24gaGlzIGZhcm0gaGUgaGFk
	IHNvbWUgZHVja3MKRSBJIEUgSSBPCldpdGggYS

	YWNrIHRoZXJlLApldmVyeSB3aGVyZSBhIHF1YW
	NrIHF1YWNrCkUgSSBFIEkgTwo=
</Picture>

2.) Reference to a graphic object that is delivered as a MIME attachment within a message:

<Picture uri="cid:a34ccrt@15.4.9.92/s445"/>

Detailed Description and Value Ranges

The element value of Picture is based on the XML-scheme-specific built-in data type xsd:base64binary. This enables any binary data to be represented using base64 encoding. This is done using the base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding procedure (see IETF RFC 2045).
The following MIME types are available for mimeCode (see IANA Media Types of Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), Status: November 2002). The particular format of the media type is specified by the subtype, which follows the slash, see: MIME Types.

The following character sets are available for "charsetCode":

MIME Type	Description	Reference
iso-8859-n	n is a placeholder for the number of the relevant ISO character set from 1 to 9 (for example, iso-8859-1)	IETF RFC 2045 IETF RFC 2046
us-ascii		IETF RFC 2046 IETF RFC 2046

The following URI schemes are available for the scheme-specific part in the URI (see Uniform Resource Identifer (URI) Schemes, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)):

Scheme Name	Description	Reference
cid	content identifier	IETF RFC 2392
uuid	Universal Unique Identifier Scheme	UUID

Detailed Description of Attributes and Elements

Attribute/Element	Description
mimeCode	Identifies the medium type (image, audio, video, application) of the binary content according to the MIME type definition in IETF RFC 2046 and the corresponding MIME type recommendations.
characterSetCode	Identifies the specific character set of text data.
format	Describes the format of the binary content if the format is not clear or unique from the "mimeCode".
fileName	Contains the corresponding name or file name of the binary content according to the MIME protocol IETF RFC 1341.
uri	References the physical location of "Sound" if this is reavailableed as a MIME attachment in a SOAP message or in an ebXML-MSG message. The syntax of the URI is defined in the IETF RFC 2396 recommendation and is as follows: <scheme>.< schemespecific part>

Facets of Content Component

Facet	Description	Example
pattern	Pattern is a constraint of the content component. The representation of pattern must be based on regular expression defined by W3C XML Schema (Part II).	[3-5][0-9] {3}.[0-9]{2}
whiteSpace	whiteSpace is a constraint of special characters in the content component. whiteSpace must be one of the following values: preserve - No normalization (changings) of the content component replace - All occurrences of tab (#x9), line feed (#xA), and carriage return (#xD) are replaced with space (#x20) collapse - It implies replace. Additionally, contiguous sequences of spaces (#x20#x20....) are collapsed, and leading and trailing spaces (#x20) are truncated.	whiteSpace value="preserve\|replace\|collapse"

Integrity Conditions

Not specified.

Use

Picture can be used for binary data of pictures, photos, arts, clip arts which are reavailableed in a binary notation.

Notes

The useful data in Picture can be delivered either as an element value using base64 octet representation or as a MIME attachment. "Picture" cannot be used to reference a file that is located on a Web server. The global data type "WebAddress" is available for this purpose.
If Picture is in a MIME attachment, the URI must reference the corresponding "Content ID" of the respective MIME attachment. The following URI schemes are used for this purpose:

cid - Identifies a freely defined "Content ID" (see ebMS V2.0).
uuid - Identifies a unique identification in accordance with the UUID guidelines (see WS Attachment).

It is not necessary to specify the "typeCode" and "fileName" attributes in a MIME attachment, since this information is contained in the MIME attachment itself.
