Triage Import Export Schema (TIES)

Overview

The Triage Import Export Schema (TIES) specifies a data interchange format for bidirectional sharing of data. The schema captures object items, relationships, and assertion information via a generic and flexible approach.

At its highest level, it consists of:

• An array of exported multimedia object items (videos, images, documents) and associated metadata, not including the raw multimedia data
• An array of groups of related object items
• An array of analyst annotations relating to object items included in the export
• An array of supplemental descriptions relating to object items included in the export
• Relationships between object items, annotations, and supplemental descriptions
• An array of key/value pairs containing user-defined metadata
