Notes

A unique identifier for the institution is required. The preferred identifier is the International Standard Identifier for Libraries and Related Organisations (ISIL). This data element refers to the institution holding the object. In addition, a free text entry of the institution name is helpful for display in portals.

Cataloguing: More detailed information, if relevant for proof of ownership, can optionally be documented in a separate data element. However, more detailed information is usually not necessary or appropriate for online publication.
