essenceTrackEncoding

essenceTrackEncoding identifies how the actual information in an instantiation is compressed, interpreted, or formulated using a particular scheme. Identifying the encoding used is beneficial for a number of reasons, including as a way to achieve reversible compression; for the construction of document indices to facilitate searching and access; or for efficient distribution of the information across data networks with differing bandwidths or pipeline capacities. Human-readable encoding value should be placed here. Use @ref to identify the codec ID.

Best Practice: Use @source to describe the type of encoding reference used, such as fourcc. In @ref, use a URI/URL from the source to identify the codec utilized by its container format.

Usage: optional, not repeatable
