dpa-JuniorLine: Standardization of the QCodes for first keywords

To make keywords comparable and easier to maintain across different services and news agencies, the primary keywords of dpa content will be gradually standardized from dpa's own dpasubjects to the IPTC´s Mediatopics (wherever possible).

Starting from April 22, 2024, the qcode of many primary keywords in the categories section of the dpa-digitalwire format will change in dpa-JuniorLine delivered in the digitalwires format.

For example, the primary keyword Tiere (animals) will no longer be delivered as dpasubject:519, but with the qcode medtop:20000500. If you use qcodes for routing or other purposes in your systems, adjustments will be necessary.

Here is a sample JSON for clarification.

Before:

"categories": [
...
    {
        "type": "dnltype:dpasubject",
        "name": "Tiere",
        "qcode": "dpasubject:519"
    }
...
]

After:

"categories": [
...
    {
        "type": "dnltype:dpasubject",
        "name": "Tier",
        "qcode": "medtop:20000500"
    }
...
]

To facilitate the transition, we attached a JSON file to this article with a mapping of the previously delivered dpasubject-qcodes and -name, as well as the future medtop-qcodes and -names. If no medtop_qcode is listed for a dpasubject_qcode, the primary keyword will continue to be delivered with the dpasubject:xx-qcode.
