Use the descriptor creatorRole to identify the role played by the person or group identified in the companion descriptor creator. Unlike print resources, there is usually no single role, like an author, who has primary responsibility for the creation of media items such as audio, video, and film assets and their digital renditions. For these media, creators identified as the primary creator can fill many different roles, such as the instructor for a video course, the interviewee from a video history program, or the director of a program or film.
