Hi Gill,
Welcome to the community!
When you create a managed content datastream, Fedora uses the URL that
you supply for the content, retrieves it and writes to to lower level
store. It determines the INTERNAL_ID and writes it to the
contentLocation field in the FoXML file for that object. When the
datastream is external or re-directed, Fedora stores the URL you give it
in that field.

Hi everyone
I'm a newbie to Fedora so please excuse what is probably a really
simple, basic question.
So, in FOXML datastream element I see that the *contentLocation* can
be of type *URL* or *INTERNAL_ID*. I understand the URL type but not
INTERNAL_ID. What might an INTERNAL_ID be and in what instances would
one use an INTERNAL_ID as opposed to a URL?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
Best wishes from Scotland
Gill
