SBCLTER surname

[Christopher Jones]

Margaret,

I forgot to mention that the content model for the <originator> tag in 
XML allows for "multiple instances of a choice between":

<individualName />

<organizationName />

<positionName >

So, this is ok:

<originator>
   <organizationName>SBCLTER</organizationName>
</originator>

and this is ok:

<originator>
   <individualName>
     <surName>O'Brien</surName>
   </individualName>
   <organizationName>SBCLTER</organizationName>
</originator>

but, because the content model of <individualName> *requires* 
<surName>, you can't do:

<originator>
   <individualName>
   </individualName>
   <organizationName>SBCLTER</organizationName>
</originator>

So this means you just need to delete the whole <individualName> 
nodeset for it to be compliant.  I did this in the XML code and it 
worked fine, but I see that Morpho *won't* allow you to do it ...

A word of caution, though, Margaret ... editing the XML code isn't 
really condoned because the tight version control in the metadata 
catalog will get juked if you edit the XML, but don't update all of the 
<triple> links and increment the version forward on the data package.  
I'll talk with Dan about dealing with this *through Morpho* and see if 
we can resolve it.

Best,

Chris
