eml-party
The eml-party module describes a responsible party (person
or organization), and is typically used to name the originator
of a resource or metadata document. It contains
detailed contact information for the party, be it an individual person,
an organization, or a named position within an organization.
Responsible party
The individual, organization, or role associated with a resource.
The responsible party field contains multiple subfields that are used
to describe the person, organization, or position within an
organization that is associated in some way with a resource. It is
intended to be used to fully fully document contact information for
many types of associations, such as owner, manager, steward, curator,
etc.
Please see the examples for the particular subfields.
This field was derived from the ISO 19115.3 standard
(iso-geo-md-2000June-draft).
Individual Name
The full name of the person being described
The responsible party field contains the full name of the person
that is associated with the resource. This field contains
subfields that break the persons name down into first and last
name, and the values are entered into those field containers.
Note that this field, used in conjunction with 'organizationName'
and 'positionName' make up a single logical originator. Because
of this, an originator with only the individualName of 'Joe Smith'
is NOT the same as an originator with the name of 'Joe Smith' and
the organizationName of 'NSF'. Also, the positionName should not
be used in conjunction with individualName unless only that
individual at that position would be considered an originator
for the data package. If a positionName is used in conjunction
with an organizationName, then that
implies that any person who currently occupies said positionName
at organizationName is the originator of the data package.
Because this is an 'elementOnly' field, please look at the
examples for the subfields 'givenName' and 'surName'.
This field was derived from the ISO 19115.3 standard
(iso-geo-md-2000June-draft).
Organization name
The full name of the organization being described
The responsible party field contains the full name of the
organization that is associated with the resource. This field
is intended to describe which institution or overall
organization is associated with the resource being described.
Note that this field, used in conjunction with 'individualName'
and 'positionName' make up a single logical originator. Because
of this, an originator with only the individualName of 'Joe Smith'
is NOT the same as an originator with the name of 'Joe Smith' and
the organizationName of 'NSF'. Also, the positionName should not
be used in conjunction with individualName unless only that
individual at that position would be considered an originator
for the data package. If a positionName is used in conjunction
with an organizationName, then that
implies that any person who currently occupies said positionName
at organizationName is the originator of the data package.

Position Name

This field is intended to be used instead of a particular person

and 'individualName' make up a single logical originator. Because
of this, an originator with only the individualName of 'Joe Smith'
is NOT the same as an originator with the name of 'Joe Smith' and
the organizationName of 'NSF'. Also, the positionName should not
be used in conjunction with individualName unless only that
individual at that position would be considered an originator
for the data package. If a positionName is used in conjunction
with an organizationName, then that
implies that any person who currently occupies said positionName
at organizationName is the originator of the data package.
