Elements defined

instantiationLocation

instantiationLocation may contain information about a specific location for an instantiation, such as an organization’s name, departmental name, shelf ID and contact information. The instantiationLocation for a digital file should include domain, path or URI to the file.

Best Practice: For digital files, instantiationLocation should always include a path or URI to the file. There are multiple ways to convey additional information about the location of a carrier or storage medium of the digital file, which are expressed on the PBCore site.

Usage: required, not repeatable
