Enum Constant Detail

COLLECTION

public static final EnumDCMIDataType COLLECTION

An aggregation of resources. A collection is described as a group; its parts may also be separately described

DATASET

public static final EnumDCMIDataType DATASET

Data encoded in a defined structure. Examples include lists, tables, and databases. A dataset may be useful for direct machine processing

EVENT

public static final EnumDCMIDataType EVENT

A non-persistent, time-based occurrence. Metadata for an event provides descriptive information that is the basis for discovery of the purpose, location, duration, and responsible agents associated with an event. Examples include an exhibition, webcast, conference, workshop, open day, performance, battle, trial, wedding, tea party, conflagration

IMAGE

public static final EnumDCMIDataType IMAGE

A visual representation other than text. Examples include images and photographs of physical objects, paintings, prints, drawings, other images and graphics, animations and moving pictures, film, diagrams, maps, musical notation. Note that Image may include both electronic and physical representations

INTERACTIVERESOURCE

public static final EnumDCMIDataType INTERACTIVERESOURCE

A resource requiring interaction from the user to be understood, executed, or experienced. Examples include forms on Web pages, applets, multimedia learning objects, chat services, or virtual reality environments

MOVINGIMAGE

public static final EnumDCMIDataType MOVINGIMAGE

A series of visual representations imparting an impression of motion when shown in succession. Examples include animations, movies, television programs, videos, zoetropes, or visual output from a simulation. Instances of the type Moving Image must also be describable as instances of the broader type Image

PHYSICALOBJECT

public static final EnumDCMIDataType PHYSICALOBJECT

An inanimate, three-dimensional object or substance. Note that digital representations of, or surrogates for, these objects should use Image, Text or one of the other types

SERVICE

public static final EnumDCMIDataType SERVICE

A system that provides one or more functions. : Examples include a photocopying service, a banking service, an authentication service, interlibrary loans, a Z39.50 or Web server

SOFTWARE

public static final EnumDCMIDataType SOFTWARE

A computer program in source or compiled form. Examples include a C source file, MS-Windows .exe executable, or Perl script

SOUND

public static final EnumDCMIDataType SOUND

A resource primarily intended to be heard. Examples include a music playback file format, an audio compact disc, and recorded speech or sounds

STILLIMAGE

public static final EnumDCMIDataType STILLIMAGE

A static visual representation. Examples include paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type Text to images of textual materials. Instances of the type Still Image must also be describable as instances of the broader type Image

TEXT

public static final EnumDCMIDataType TEXT

A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text

Method Detail

values

public static EnumDCMIDataType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (EnumDCMIDataType c : EnumDCMIDataType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static EnumDCMIDataType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
