Identifying Media in the Modern Era the Domains of Media Identity

Identity is the property of an object that distinguishes it from all other objects within a domain, a domain being a physical or logical system by which objects are bounded. Objects may exist within many domains simultaneously, however the object must posses an Identity for each domain to which it is bound. Media, like any other object, may also be bound to many domains, each domain representing or defining some aspect of that Media. For instance, Media can exist within a physical domain where each Media instance represents a unique physical asset or file, while simultaneously belonging to a logical domain in which each Media instance represents a dataset describing a unique set of sights and sounds, without a physical representation. These Domains of Media Identity define the relationships that connect real world events to physical Media and provide the various groupings required to facilitate complex Media workflows.
