Authority control for names is strongly recommended. Consult one of the following if applicable:

name[@authority="naf"]

name[@authority="viaf"]

authorityURI

values: 

Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamename-authorityURI

When using a local authority file, provide a URI that identifies the file. The URI should identify the authority file as a whole, not to a specific entry.

name[@authorityURI="http://viaf.org/viaf/data"]

displayLabel

value:

  • Contributor name

This attribute provides additional text associated with the element if needed for display purposes. Currently, only the value "Contributor name" is supported in the DAMS.

name[@displayLabel="Contributor name"]
usage 

values:

  • primary
Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamename-usage

When entering multiple contributors, designate one as primary for display and/or citation purposes. One contributor must be designated as primary even if only one contributor is entered.

For additional contributors which are not primary, do not use the attribute.

name[@usage="primary"]

Subelements

The following subelements of name are used in the DAMS:

  • namePart
  • role

Subelement name/namePart

Guidelines for use

The name itself is always contained in a namePart subelement. Currently, the DAMS does not support breaking up names into parts (e.g. given and last name).

Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNamenamePart

Name parts should appear in the same order as in their authorized form (the authority cited in the metadata). If no authority is used for personal names, last name or family name should appear first, followed by a comma, followed by first or given names.

Enter "no attribution" if no contributor is provided in the resource and if no contributor information can be supplied.

Attributes

Currently no attributes for namePart are implemented in the DAMS.

Subelements

No subelements for nameParts.

Attributes
