Media sets (unstructured data)

A media set is a collection of media files with a common schema, for example, files of the same format. Media sets are designed to work with high-scale, unstructured data and enable the processing of media items such as audio, imagery, video, and documents. Media sets enable access to flexible storage, compute optimizations, and schema-specific transformations to enhance media workflows and pipelines.

Example media set workflows include:

• Enabling content analysis by extracting text from PDFs with Pipeline Builder
• Performing geospatial analysis with raster tiling (TIFF, NITF) in the Map application
• Processing medical imaging files (DICOM format) with Pipeline Builder
