You may want to use 'content-type' and 'content-model' as the names. (or ContentType, ContentModel, whatever).
Using 'mimeType' doesn't tell you what data it refers to.
Content-type already exists on the Web and is easy to explain. It's the 'type' of the 'content' (the entity body in a message, after the headers). The 'model' (schema, structure, semantics, etc.) of the 'content' needs to be identfiable also.
