Types of images

The Person Registry supports the following image types:

Email type Occ Source Description
min:max reg ext user
Card 0:1 no yes yes University ID card image
  • Occ: min:max occurrences, where max="n" is no specified limit.
  • Source: reg(istry) = internally generated by Registry/Person rules; ext(ernal) = contributed by external source systems such as Campus PeopleSoft; user = person themselves during self registration or via Stanford.You

Card

Registry Database: table=person_extension, type_cd=cardimage
XML Document: <image type="card">
LDAP Directory: N/A

The image that appears on a person's University ID card

Parts of an image

Each image in the registry is stored as a single row in the person_extension table of the Registry database. An image consists of these parts:

What Required? Schema xml
Type of image yes type_cd <image type="..."> attribute
MIME type no N/A <image mimetype="image/jpeg"> attribute
Data Encoding no N/A <image encode="base64"> attribute
Image data no text_value <image>#PCDATA

Data integration rules

Image from a source to the registry

Image is a sole-sourced data type where only certain forms can be contributed by external systems per individual source agreement.

Image in the registry outbound Person XML document

All image types are access controlled in the Registry and are only available as needed.

Events

Registry/Directory synchronization events

The Person Registry posts an registry_person:reconcile for any change in image data.

No person events are currently posted for image changes since that data is not in the directory.
