| 3 - Agent | 3.9 linkingEnvironmentIdentifier | 3.9.1 linkingEnvironmentIdentifierType 3.9.2 linkingEnvironmentIdentifierValue 3.9.3 linkingEnvironmentRole |
| Semantic unit | 3.9 linkingEnvironmentIdentifier |
|---|---|
| Definition | The objectIdentifier of an environment Object associated with the Agent. |
| Obligation | Optional |
| Repeatability | Repeatable |
| Rationale | Allows implementers to link the Agent to an environment Object, if the Agent is hardware or software that has been preserved in some way in the repository and has been described as an environment Object. |
| Data constraint | Container |
| Usage notes | Although the semantic unit is named linkingEnvironmentIdentifier, it links an Agent to an Object. LinkingEnvironmentIdentifierType and linkingEnvironmentIdentifierValue must therefore match objectIdentifierType and objectIdentifierValue in the related environment Object. |
| Examples | Link from the JHOVE Agent used in a characterization Event to the JHOVE source code captured in the repository as an environment Object. |
