Content Type RiC-A10
Definition
The fundamental form of communication in which a Record or Record Part is expressed.
Scope notes
Content Type should not be confused with Representation Type or Carrier Type that would concern a related Instantiation since the form of communication can be independent of the representation or carrier, for example a map (content type "cartographic image") may be represented as a sketch (representation type "visual") recorded as a physical document (carrier type "paper"). It also should not be confused with the Documentary Form Type of a Record, or Record Part, which describes a specific document form (for example a deed of sale).
