An identifier for the digital location of the record.

For example, you might want to say:  Find me all records that are kept in
recordStore 'robsRecordStore1' or all records kept in the SQL table
'records' or that are files in the directory '/home/azaroth/srw/data'

All of these are identifiers for a location of a record.

In a metasearchy environment, it might even be the URI to another
database.

I assumed that they're concerned with the resource, not the record.
