Documentation

Start with the model, then inspect the schemas.

The public site is a front door. The canonical working documents and schemas live in the specs repository.

Core

Schema hierarchy

Understand how a thin Release anchor connects to Editions, then to Mediums, Groups, and Tracks, and how tracks connect back to recording versions, recordings, and works.

Exchange

LCX container format

Review how release graphs can be packaged, sealed, signed, transported, validated, and archived as Labelcopy exchange files.

Provenance

Identifiers and time travel

Learn how LCIDs, CIDs, commits, trees, branches, and tags make release states traceable.

Manufacturing

CD, DDP, and production manifests

Manufacturing data can include frame-accurate CD PQ/TOC details, CD-Text overrides, plant requirements, and legacy DDP interoperability.
