A representation of a Key/Encoded-Value pair is generated by concatenating the contents of the first four columns of a row that begins with an ampersand in the Matrix below. The ordering of KEV pairs is not important. Rows which have '#' in the first column are comments and should not be included in the representation.

| <fmt-id> | Character string for a Format Identifier (Z39.88-2004, Part 1, Sections 12 and 13) |
| <m-key> | Character string for a Metadata Key (Z39.88-2004, Part 2, Section 7.1) |
| <url> | Character string for a URL |
| <date> | Character string representing a date to the complete date level of the W3CDTF profile of ISO 8601, of the form: [ YYYY-MM-DD | YYYY-MM | YYYY ] |
| <time> | Character string representing a date and time to the seconds level of the W3CDTF profile of ISO 8601, of the form: [ YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD | YYYY-MM-DD ] |
