| ID | Data Element | Label | Definition | Data Type | Field Length | Repeatable | Indexed | Sort By | Scope/Usage Note |
| MICUC001 | micUCRecordID | Metadata Record ID | unique identifier assigned to each record | N | Y | System-assigned. Must be unique within the database, and globally. | |||
| MICUC002 | OrgID | Organization Identifier | Unique identifier assigned to each participating organization | langstring | variable; max 8 char | N | Y | N | Assigned by MIC; same field as OrgID in Directory DB; linking field between DBs. Also used for OAI archiveID |
| MICUC003 | OrgName | Organization Name | Main or official name of the organization | langstring | variable | N | Y | Y | Assigned by MIC. Same field as OrgName in Directory DB. Used to provide organization name in results display list, when multiple records are returned by a search. |

normalized according to MPEG7, which can then be used to generate standard
displays: Temporal duration of a moving image, normalized to MPEG-7 syntax in days, hours, minutes, seconds and fractions of seconds. PnDTnHnMnSnNnF Examples PT18S21N30F PT1D2H30M12S PT1H20M15S |
| MICUC022 | Type | Type | Broad physical or digital manifestation of the work, such as film, video, digital file. | langstring | variable | Y | Y | N | Currently, no identified map to MARC. Candidate for elimination if other schemas supported do not map. Dublin Core specifies "moving image" and MPEG-7 specifies audiovisual or video as broad type. These may be globally assigned when displaying metadata in reference schema. |

Examples include: preservation master, reference copy, use copy, etc. | langstring | variable | Y | N | N | Use if the organization's records provide copy-level information, with physical information relevant to each copy. No explicit MARC map since this information is generally indivisible from the carrier field. Candidate for elimination if other schemas do not map. |
| MICUC024 | CarrierType | Carrier | The gauge/width/diameter of a physical moving image medium. Include, for films, the gauge, film base and film generation. For video, includes the tape dimensions. Examples: 35 mm safety print. 1/2 in. 12 in. |
