<itemClass>

The nature of the item, set in accordance with the structure of its content.

Note

Usage note

Mandatory IPTC NewsCodes for News Items or Package Items: http://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/ninature/

Mandatory IPTC NewsCodes for Concept Items, Knowledge Items or Package Items: http://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/cinature/

User Note: This property gives a hint on the nature of the Item. IPTC values for News Items correspond to the media type of the original content component, i.e. “text”, “photo”, etc. Concept Items adopt the static value concept. The class of a Package Item reflects the nature of the items it contains, i.e. either one of the values above or the value “composite” which indicates that the package handles Items of different natures. A recipient system may use this information to make a coarse selection of Items, based on their nature, without having to inspect the structure.

Attribute	Type	Use	Description
Inherited from `QCodePropType`
`qcode`	`QCodeType`	optional	A concept identifier expressed as a string of the form sss:ccc, where sss is a scheme alias and ccc is a code. Either the qcode or the uri attribute MUST be used
`uri`	`IRIType`	optional	A URI which identifies a concept - either the qcode or the uri attribute MUST be used
From commonPowerAttributes
`id`	`ID`	optional	The local identifier of the property.
`creator`	`QCodeType`	optional	If the property value is not defined, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) will edit the property value - expressed by a QCode. If the property value is defined, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) has edited the property value.
`creatoruri`	`IRIType`	optional	If the property value is not defined, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) will edit the property - expressed by a URI. If the property value is defined, specifies which entity (person, organisation or system) has edited the property.

`whyuri`	`IRIType`	optional	Why the metadata has been included - expressed by a URI
`pubconstraint`	`QCodeListType`	optional	One or many constraints that apply to publishing the value of the property - expressed by a QCode. Each constraint applies to all descendant elements.
`pubconstrainturi`	`IRIListType`	optional	One or many constraints that apply to publishing the value of the property - expressed by a URI. Each constraint applies to all descendant elements.
From i18nAttributes
`xml:lang`		optional	Specifies the language of this property and potentially all descendant properties. xml:lang values of descendant properties override this value. Values are determined by Internet BCP 47.
