The descriptor pbcoreIdentifier is used to reference or identify the entire record of metadata descriptions for a media item. The pbcoreIdentifier exists at the top level for a PBCore description and its associated description document (XML). Best practice is to identify the media item (whether analog or digital) by means of an unambiguous string or number corresponding to an established or formal identification system if one exists. Otherwise, use an identification method that is in use within your agency, station, production company, office, or institution.
