Anatomy of DDEX RDR Messages

The DDEX RDR Message Suite uses a file format with: a file header and a resource list that contains details for each resource. Each resource can be a sound recording or a music video recording. All the data is provided as XML, using a schema and tags that are part of the DDEX standard and data dictionary.
