DEFINITION
 |
Use the descriptor creatorRole to identify the role played by the person or group identified in the companion descriptor creator.
Unlike print resources, there is usually no single role, like an author, who has primary responsibility for the creation of media items such as audio, video, film assets, and their digital renditions. For these media, creators can fill many different roles, such as the instructor for a video course, the interviewee from a video history program, or the director of a program or film (if they are identified as the primary creator for a media item). |
GUIDELINES
FOR USAGE
|

creator, identify the role played by that person or organization.
Preference is to use a pre-defined list of creator roles rather than entering informal, free-form text.
To identify other important people or groups who contributed to the creation of a media item, use the descriptors contributor and contributorRole. |
