Describe this Element

Name	Creator.Role
Definition	Unlike print resources, there is no single role, such as author, that is commonly understood to have primary responsibility for the creation of the intellectual content of media resources, such as audio, video, film assets, and their digital instantiations. In these situations, creators have many different roles, each deemed to have primary responsibility for the creation of the essence, such as the instructor for a video course, the interviewee from a video history program, or the director of a feature film.
