 * obtaining, a resource. The optional {@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Distribution
 * distribution} entity is an aggregate of the options for the digital distribution of a dataset
 * ({@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.DigitalTransferOptions digital transfer options}),
 * identification of the {@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Distributor distributor} and
 * the {@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Format format} of the distribution, which
 * contain mandatory and optional elements. {@linkplain
 * org.opengis.metadata.distribution.DigitalTransferOptions Digital transfer options} contains the
 * {@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Medium medium} used for the distribution of a
 * dataset. {@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Distributor} is an aggregate of the
 * process for ordering a distribution ({@linkplain
 * org.opengis.metadata.distribution.StandardOrderProcess standard order process}). The {@linkplain
 * org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Distribution#getDistributionFormats distribution format} of
 * {@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Distribution distribution} is mandatory if the
 * {@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Distributor#getDistributorFormats distribution
 * format} of {@linkplain org.opengis.metadata.distribution.Distributor distributor} is not set.
