File

This is used to describe any kind of file on a file system or file repository, e.g. a data file, log file, backup file, etc. The <Media> element can be used to describe the type of media it is stored on. The hash of the file can also be recorded using <Hash> so the actual version of the file interacted with is known. If a hash is supplied then the name of the hashing algorithm should also be supplied in the Type attribute.

The object type <Document> may be more appropriate unless the file is being referred to in its generic capacity as a file.
