description: The content model for physical is a CHOICE between
"references" and all of the elements that let you describe the
internal/external characteristics and distribution of a data object
(e.g., dataObject, dataFormat, distribution.) A physical element can
contain a reference to an physical element defined elsewhere. Using
a reference means that the referenced physical is identical, not just
in name but identical in its complete description.

description:
The eml-physical module describes the physical characteristics of a
data object
and the information required for its distribution. External physical characteristics
include the filename, size, compression, encoding methods, and authentication
of a file or byte stream. Internal physical characteristics describe the format of
the data object. Proprietary formats can be cited (e.g., Microsoft Access 2000),
or text formats can be precisely described (e.g., ASCII text delimited with commas).
The module includes the information needed to parse the text data object to extract
the entity and its attributes. Distribution information describes how to retrieve the
data object, either as online (a URL or connection definition), offline (e.g., a data
object residing on an archival tape), or inline (i.e., the data are included with the
metadata).
Like many other EML elements, a physical Type can
contain a reference to another physical element defined elsewhere in the document
instead of a description of the resource. Using
a reference means that the referenced physical is identical, not just
in name but identical in its complete description.

to encode the object, such as base64, BinHex, etc. Compression
and encoding methods must be listed in the order in which they
were applied, so that decompression and decoding should
occur in the reverse order of the listing. For example,
if a file is compressed using zip and then encoded using
MIME base64, the compression method would be listed first
and the encoding method second.
