# Video Classification Encoding

Video classifications are encoded as follows:

> standard|rating|score|reason

standard is typically one of:

> cc-movie
> or
> cc-tv

where cc is a two character country code. The complete list of two character country codes can be referenced at the following links:

> Nations Online
> ISO

An exception to the above encoding is US classifications for movies which describe the standard component as mpaa.

The standard field is always described in lower case.

rating is a rating in the associated standard. eg. P, PG, etc.

score is a country independant value.

reason is optional descriptive text qualifying the rating. eg. Contains violence.
