A media type (also MIME type and content type) is a two-part identifier for file formats and format contents transmitted on the Internet.

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the official authority for the standardization and publication of these classifications.

Media types were originally defined in Request for Comments 2045 in November 1996 as a part of MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) specification, for denoting type of email message content and attachments; hence the name MIME type.

It is also used by other internet protocols like HTTP and document file formats like HTML, for similar purpose.

A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, image scanner, or motion picture film scanner.

Raw files are named so because they are not yet processed and therefore are not ready to be printed or edited with a bitmap graphics editor.

Normally, the image is processed by a raw converter in a wide-gamut internal color space where precise adjustments can be made before conversion to a "positive" file format such as TIFF or JPEG for storage, printing, or further manipulation.

This often encodes the image in a device-dependent color space.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of raw formats in use by different models of digital equipment (like cameras or film scanners).

In information technology, header refers to supplemental data placed at the beginning of a block of data being stored or transmitted.

In data transmission, the data following the header are sometimes called the payload or body.
