<institution>

Institution Name

Name of an institution or organization such as a university or corporation used in an address or within a citation (such as a <mixed-citation> or an <element-citation>).

Related Elements

Used with an Institutional Identifier: A wrapper element named <institution-wrap> holds both the name of an institution (<institution>) and any identifiers for that institution (<institution-id>), for example, an INSI or Ringgold ID.
Used in an Address: An address (<address>) element contains a postal address and/or other contact information such as a company or organization name. If an address is divided into lines, the lines can be preserved using the <addr-line> element. Typically, the <addr-line> element holds one physical or logical line of an address, containing undifferentiated portions of an address such as organization names, street addresses, post box numbers, building numbers, mailstops, etc. They are called “lines” because addresses are frequently divided onto multiple lines, and this encoding allows that fact to be preserved. If the address is just a block of undifferentiated text, numbers, or special characters, the entire address may be placed inside a single <addr-line> element.
There are several ways to tag an address: An address element (<address>) does not contain any text, only lower-level address elements.
