VOCABULARIES:
PBCore recommends the following practices:
For personal names
Enter personal names in inverted form using commas as indicated here:
- LastName, FirstName MiddleName, Suffix.
- Substitute a MiddleInitial for a MiddleName as appropriate, or ignore if not available.
- The suffix is any type of academic credential (Ph.D., Ed.D.) or familial lineage (Smithee, Alan, III)
For corporate or organizational names:
Enter corporate names in full direct form. Use the most specific and commonly used official name for an organization if it is distinctive enough to identify the group who is considered to be a contributor. If a particular subdivision of an organization is the actual contributor, identify both the more encompassing group as well as the subdivisions.
The hierarchy (main group and subdivision) starts with the main group, followed by
For example:
- State of Utah. Film Commission
- Smithee Productions. Educational Division
- Wisconsin Public Television. Extension Division
