standard tag: 'MEDI'

specification:
  - Medium
  - |
    An enumerated value from set `https://gedcom.io/terms/v7/enumset-MEDI`
    providing information about the media or the medium in which information is
    stored.
    
    When `MEDI` is a substructure of a `https://gedcom.io/terms/v7/CALN`, it is
    recommended that its payload describes the medium directly found at that call
    number rather than a medium from which it was derived.
    
    <div class="example">
    
    Consider an asset in a repository that is a digital scan of a book of compiled
    newspapers; for this asset, the `CALN`.`MEDI` is recommended to be `ELECTRONIC`
    rather than `BOOK` or `NEWSPAPER`.
    
    </div>
    
    When `MEDI` is a substructure of a `https://gedcom.io/terms/v7/FORM`, it is
    recommended that its payload describes the medium from which it was derived.
    
    <div class="example">
    
    Consider a digital photo in a multimedia record; for this asset, the
    `FORM`.`MEDI` is recommended to be `PHOTO` rather than `ELECTRONIC`.
