Family Name | A family name is usually shared by members of a family. This attribute also carries prefixes or suffixes which are part of the Family Name, e.g. “de Boer”, “van de Putte”, “von und zu Orlow”. Multiple family names, such as are commonly found in Hispanic countries, are recorded in the single Family Name field so that, for example, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's Family Name would be recorded as "Cervantes Saavedra." | 0..1 | Name |

Given Name | A given name, or multiple given names, are the denominator(s) that identify an individual within a family. These are given to a person by his or her parents at birth or may be legally recognised as 'given names' through a formal process. All given names are ordered in one field so that, for example, the Given Name for Johan Sebastian Bach is 'Johan Sebastian.' | 0..1 | Name |

Location
ISO 19112 defines a location as "an identifiable geographic place." With this in mind, "Eiffel
Tower", "Madrid" and "California" are all locations and this is a common way of representing
locations in public sector data, i.e. simply by using a recognised name. Such identifiers are
common although they can be highly ambiguous as many places share the same or similar
names.
In addition to a simple (string) label or name for a Location, this vocabulary defines three further
ways in which it can be identified:
- by URI (such as a GeoNames or DBpedia URI);
- by address;
- by geometry, that is, a point, line or polygon expressed using coordinates in some
coordinate reference system.

Geographic Name | Again quoting from ISO 19112, a geographic name is a "spatial reference in the form of a label or code that identifies a location. “Spain” is an example of a country name; “SW1P 3AD” is an example of a postcode. Both are geographic names. The country codes defined in ISO 3166 are further examples of geographic names. As noted in Section 4.1.10, the Publications Office of the European Union recommends the use of ISO 3166-1 codes for countries in all cases except two: use 'UK' in preference to the ISO 3166 code GB for the United Kingdom; use 'EL' in preference to the ISO 3166 code GR for Greece. The 'place' may be an abstract location such as a jurisdiction as opposed to a physical location. The geographic name might be a recognised name, such as 'Paris,' which may or may not be ambiguous in context, or it might be descriptive (such as 'Rhine km 203'). Although geographic names are always useful, it is recommended that an additional method be used to identify a location. Places may have multiple geographic names in a single language or multiple languages. Where a name is language-specific, that language should be identified along with the name (see Section 4.9). There is no cardinality restriction on the number of geographic names that can be used to describe a single location. | 0..1 | Name |

Alternative Name | Any name by which an individual is known. Many individuals use a short form of their name, a 'middle' name as a 'first' name or a professional name. For example, the British politician and former UN High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jeremy John Durham Ashdown, Baron Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon, is usually referred to simply as 'Paddy Ashdown' or 'Lord Ashdown.' Note It is not the role of the alternative name field to record nick names, pet names or other 'familiar names' that will be of no consequence in public sector data exchange. | 0..* | Name |

Birth Name | All data associated with an individual are subject to change. Names can change for a variety of reasons, either formally or informally, and new information may come to light that means that a correction or clarification can be made to an existing record. Birth names tend to be persistent however and for this reason they are recorded by some public sector information systems. There is no granularity for birth name - the full name should be recorded in a single field. | 0..1 | Name |
