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 The name of the title or position associated with the resource. This field is intended to be used instead of a particular person or full organization name.

Note that this field, used in conjunction with 'organizationName' 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.
