A collection of 0 or more closely-related audio and/or video files and metadata that describes them. See mediacore.model.media.Media for the definition in code.

A set of pre-determined flags describing a content item:

  • publish
  • draft
  • trash
  • unencoded
  • unreviewed
  • user_flagged

See mediacore.model.statuses.

tag
A keyword or term that describes some aspect of a content item. Typically these can be more specific than topic‘s because they can be created on an ad hoc basis.
topic
A category of content. Unlike tag‘s these are not created on an ad-hoc basis: generally you confine yourself to a small list of topics because the list should be easy to read over for users.
unencoded
Audio or video that is not in a web-friendly format.
unreviewed
Audio or video that has been added, but doesn’t have admin approval yet.
