Logs are transmitted via several common media, such as files and iostreams. This PR establishes semantic conventions for describing the file or iostream from which a log was read. Notably, these attributes are not resource attributes, as the medium used to tranmit a log is not considered to be the originator of the log. |

Log Attribute Semantic Conventions
Status: Experimental

- Log Media: Semantic attributes that may be used in describing the source of a log.
Apart from semantic conventions for logs, traces, and metrics, OpenTelemetry also defines the concept of overarching Resources with their own Resource Semantic Conventions.
