ImportantVideo Rendition DUIDs in NewsML-G2
DUIDs are now available for video renditions not only in JSON, but also in NewsML-G2. A DUID is a descriptive tag that ties together the important rendition characteristics and allows you to differentiate between the renditions of the same type (for example, multiple Main, Preview or Thumbnail renditions).
Example: Video rendition DUID in NewsML-G2

Fields removed from NewsML-G2 Item Metadata
Item metadata in the NewsML-G2 format no longer contains the //contentMeta/contentCreated and //contentMeta/contentModified datetime fields that had the same values as the //itemMeta/firstCreated and //itemMeta/versionCreated fields, respectively.
Make sure to use the following datetime fields:
-
The versionCreated field for the date and time in UTC when this version of the content item was published.
-
The firstCreated field for the date and time in UTC when the first version of the content item was created.
Example: The versionCreated and firstCreated fields in NewsML-G2
