Additional information on an asset can be determined taking its type attribute value from a search result, and looking it up in a assetTypeList returned by the SL_GetAttibutes. In SL_GetAttributes, an asset is further described by corresponding assetitem tag in the assetTypeList.
A given assetitem tag will specify a assettype attribute which corresponds to the type attribute. The assetiteme tag specifies a text attribute which is English printable name of the asset. The asset item tag also specifies a recommended icon graphic to use for an asset of this type contained in a bin in the imgsrc attribute. The following is an example of a asset item tag:
<assetitem assettype="_ss_bs"
ai="1"
imgsrc="icon_courseware.gif"
text="Business Courseware" …/>
