Alternative name composite

A group of data elements which together represent an alternative name of a contributor, and specify its type. The <AlternativeName> composite is optional, and is repeatable to give multiple alternative names for the contributor. It may be used to send a pseudonym as well as a real name, where both names are on the product, eg to handle such cases as ‘Ian Rankin writing as Jack Harvey’; or to send an authority-controlled form of a name; or to identify the real name of the contributor where the book is written under a pseudonym (and the real identity need not be kept private) or is anonymous. Note that in all cases, the primary name is that used on the product, and the alternative name merely provides additional information.

Each instance of the composite must contain the <NameType> element with either:

  • one or more of the forms of representation of a person name, with or without an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite; or
  • one or more of the forms of representation of a corporate name, with or without an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite; or
  • an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite without any accompanying name element(s).
Reference name <AlternativeName>
