# <orgName>

`<orgName>` | (organization name) contains an organizational name.

Attributes

(In addition to global attributes and those inherited from data)

`type` | more fully describes the organization indicated in the organizational name. Possible values include ‘voluntary’, ‘political’, ‘governmental’, ‘industrial’, ‘commercial’, etc.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values:
| Default: #IMPLIED

`key` | provides an alternative identifier for the organization being named, such as a database record key.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: any string
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

Note | The value may be a unique identifier from a database, or simply a more explicit name for the referent. Its purpose is only to record an identification; if the analysis leading to the identification is to be recorded as well, the analytic tags described in chapter 16 Feature Structures should be used in addition or instead.
`reg` | (regularization) gives a normalized or regularized form of the organization name
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Any string of characters.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

Note | In providing a `regularized' form, no claim is made that the form in the source text is incorrect; the regularized form is simply that chosen as the main form for purposes of unifying variant forms under a single heading.
