Profile: program-episode

Profile Schema

A program-episode is a document representing an episode of a program. Unlike podcast episodes (which typically represent a single segment of audio), program-episode documents have a collection of links to their story documents, which together make up a single “episode”. The story documents in an episode’s collection can also be referred to as “program segments”.

program-episodes are related to their program via collection links. The full “program” tree is represented below.

Structure

The program-episode profile requires that the document also list the aggregation profile in its profile list; the aggregation profile provides further validation constraints.

The profile specifies the following attributes:

Name	Type	Required?	Explanation
`showDate`	String	Yes	A single date in RFC3339 `full-date` format indicating the day on which this episode was broadcast OR rebroadcast
