Datastream Control Group: This indicates the nature of the repository's control over the datastream content. Values are:

R = Redirected. The datastream resides on an external server and is referenced by a URL. When a dissemination request for the *datastream* comes through, Fedora sends an HTTP redirect to the client, thereby causing the client to directly access the datastream from its external location. This is useful in cases where the datastream is really some sort of streaming media that cannot be piped through Fedora, or the datastream is an HTML document with relative hyperlinks to the server on which is is normally hosted. E = External Referenced. The datastream content is external to the repository and referenced by URL. The content is not under the direct custodianship of the repository. The URL is considered public so the repository does not worry about whether it exposes the datastream location to collaborating services. M = Managed Content. The datastream content is stored and managed by the repository. The content is considered under the direct custodianship of the repository. The repository does not expose the underlying storage location to collaborating services and it mediates all access to the content by collaborating services. X = Inline XML Metadata. The datastream content is user-defined XML metadata that is stored within the digital object XML file itself. As such, it is intrinsically bound to the digital object, and by implication, it is stored and managed by the repository. The content considered under the custodianship of the repository.
