<aff>

Affiliation

Name of a institution or organization, such as a university or corporation, that is the affiliation for a contributor such as an author or an editor

Remarks

All levels of a multi-tier organization are listed within a single <aff> element, for example, a program, a department, and a university may be part of the same <aff>. Similarly, both a division and a corporation would be inside one <aff>.

Conversion Note: In a typical case, the @id attribute of an <aff> element will be pointed to from one or more Contributor<contrib> elements, establishing the linkage between them.

Conversion Note: Even if the explicitly tagged numbers or symbols for author linkages are preserved in conversion, the ID/IDREF linking mechanism should be maintained or created during conversion.

Conversion Note: If an archive wishes to record divisional distinctions made by a publisher, such as an “<institution>” element with “<dept>” and “<office>” sub-elements for the affiliation, the embedded divisions could be converted to this Tag Set using <named-content> elements:

<aff>
  <institution content-type="edu">
    University of Frostbite Falls
    <named-content content-type="dept">Dept of Campus Security
    </named-content>
    <named-content content-type="dept">Dept of Moose and Squirrel
    Security</named-content>
    <named-content content-type="office">Office of the Acting Dean
    </named-content>
  </institution>
</aff>
