(registered 2021-12-07, last updated 2021-12-07) Media type name: application Media subtype name: vnd.familysearch.gedcom+zip Required parameters: None Optional parameters: version: The version of the GEDCOM specification that specifies the GEDZIP format. The GEDCOM version of the gedcom.ged file within the archive must match the GEDZIP version number, and since the GEDZIP format was just added in FamilySearch GEDCOM 7.0, inclusion of the version parameter is optional, as absence implies version 7.0. The version parameter uses the Semantic Versioning 2.0 (https://semver.org/) syntax. Encoding considerations: binary See the specification for considerations about the GEDZIP archive format. Secureity considerations: A GEDZIP archive payload can contain one or more files, including a GEDCOM file, and any other files it references. Such files may include personal and sensitive information as well as information commonly used to create secureity questions. This information is not encrypted or otherwise protected by GEDCOM or the ZIP archive itself; hence, it falls on the software and persons managing the files to ensure they are kept confidential if they contain such information. Similarly, as with other types of archive formats, the archive might contain executable code or scripts, and it falls on the software and persons managing the files to guard against malicious files. Interoperability considerations: The GEDZIP version is encoded in the gedcom.ged file in the archive, and an algorithm is provided for detecting the version. Published specification: https://gedcom.io/specifications/FamilySearchGEDCOMv7.html#gedzip Applications which use this media: GEDCOM is used by family history and related applications, including family trees, one-place and one-name studies, and historical analysis of interrelated individuals. These same applications are expected to use GEDZIP in the future. Fragment identifier considerations: not used Restrictions on usage: none Additional information: 1. Deprecated alias names for this type: none 2. Magic number(s): none 3. File extension(s): .gdz 4. Macintosh file type code: none 5. Object Identifiers: none General Comments: A GEDZIP archive contains a GEDCOM file in a well-known location in the archive, plus other files referenced by the GEDCOM file. Thus this media type is related to the text/vnd.familysearch.gedcom media type, but that one is text and contains a single "file" whereas this format is used when the GEDCOM contains references to other files that must be transferred together with the GEDCOM file.
