DataFingerprintType

Allows for assigning a hash value (digital fingerprint) to the data or data file. Set the attribute flag to “data” when the hash value provides a digital fingerprint to the data contained in the file regardless of the storage format (ASCII, SAS, binary, etc.). One approach to compute a data fingerprint is the Universal Numerical Fingerprint (UNF). Set the attribute flag to “dataFile” if the digital fingerprint is only for the data file in its current storage format.

Description

DigitalFingerprintValue

string

0..1

Contains the value of the specified digital fingerprint.

AlgorithmSpecification

string

0..1

Specifies the type of the fingerprint (what algorithm or scheme).

AlgorithmVersion

string

0..1

Contains the version of the algorithm.

Type

string

1..1

Brief identification of the type of data fingerprint used. The data fingerprint may be for the data file (storage format specific) or data (format neutral). Valid values include: data, dataFile
