Organizations
We will create a person record for every organization named in a document, so long as there is enough information to create a record.
Stubs
Organization records can be stubs which are placeholders, a way to make this organization discoverable on the web, until we are able to put together more information on them. Once we have time to create a more detailed description, they are converted to full identifications.
Stubs should contain as much information as you can easily locate.
Stubs should have data in the following DC fields:
- title (organization name)
- subject
- description
- contributor
- rights
- format
- language
