Internal signatures

IMF Package Asset Map

Note
XML declaration, followed by <AssetMap opening tag, shortly followed by a reference to http://www.smpte-ra.org, included here to avoid any incidental clashes with non-IMF formats using similar tags. Note that this signature doesn’t currently utilize any specific XML Namespace element for the Asset Map, although this could be included if there is a requirement to distinguish between different schema compliance.
