Guidelines for Usage	For each instance of the metadata element PUBLISHER, specify the role played by that individual or organization. Preference is to use a pre-defined list of Publisher Roles rather than the use of informal, free-form text entires. A distributor may be considered as a publisher. AMIA defines a distributor as "the person or corporate body which sells, leases, rents, or in some matter makes available moving image works." Thus distributor is a role played by a publisher.
