documentation
The physical or digital manifestation of the resource. Use the descriptor
Format to identify the format of a particular resource as it exists in its physical
or digital form. Physical form = an actual physical form that occupies physical
space, e.g. a tape. Digital form = a digital file residing on a server or hard
drive. Format may be used to determine the software, hardware or other equipment
needed to display or operate the resource.
