IANA media type for H5P packages
Hi everybody,
are there any plans or efforts underway to register a H5P media type at IANA? This would make sense for enabling servers to communicate what they are transfering in a standardized way and for allowing better machine-readable descriptions of H5P resources in general.
Here some words about our concrete use case: In the German-speaking KI group (Competence Centre for Interoperable Metadata) we are developing a metadata profile for describing educational resources that mainly draws from schema.org/LRMI, see the repo and the draft spec.
In our last meeting we discussed how to describe H5p resources, especially how to indicate with structured data that something is a H5P resource. We decided that it would be best to use the schema.org property encodingFormat. However, schema.org recommends the following when using this property:
"Media type typically expressed using a MIME format (see IANA site and MDN reference) e.g. application/zip for a SoftwareApplication binary, audio/mpeg for .mp3 etc.)."
As far as I can see, a media type for h5p does not exist yet. If there are no efforts underway already for registering such a media type, it would be great if this could be picked up. I'd be happy to help.
All the best
Adrian

Isn't there any interest in
Isn't there any interest in this? Should I try moving forward by trying to register a media type on my own? However, I would feel better with some support of a H5P representative. But I am not familiar with the workings of the H5P community and would be happy about a hint who I might contact wrt to this.
