Quick question: Are there official MIME types defined for USD types? I’m specifically interested in types for prim and property paths. Houdini and Omniverse have their own MIME types, but are there any “official” ones defined by Pixar?

USDZ does have one. It’s listed on this page Usdz File Format Specification — Universal Scene Description 25.02 documentation
I’m not sure if usd and usdc have one but spiff also did register usda with IANA https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/model/vnd.usda
It’s not the file types I’m really after (although that’s useful information, thanks). I’m more interested in a MIME type for a prim path. e.g. if I could drag a prim out of usdview’s scene browser and drop it somewhere else, I’d like to know that the text represented an SdfPath rather than, say, a filename. This is for our own scene browser. We can make up a MIME type such as application/x-foo-sdf-path, but if there’s already one, we’d like to use that.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood. Afaik, no there’s nothing standard regarding the hierarchy elements, or even regarding the clipboard representation.
Thanks. We’ll just make up our own for the moment then. This is for the app’s internal use only so it’s not a big problem.

Since this seems like an interesting vendor/DCC interconnectivity issue, it sounds like it could be a job for AOUSD?
