Elements defined

instantiationPhysical

instantiationPhysical is used to identify the format of a particular instantiation as it exists in a physical form that occupies physical space (e.g., a tape on a shelf). This includes physical digital media, such as a DV tape, audio CD or authored DVD, as well as analog media.

Best Practice: PBCore provides a controlled vocabulary for media objects, though any controlled vocabulary can be used as long as it is referenced. For digital storage carriers that contain portable file-based media, such as data CDs, LTO tapes or hard drives, use instantiationDigital to convey the mime type of the file instead of describing the carrier.

Usage: optional, not repeatable
