<string-name> Name of Person (Unstructured)

Container element for personal names captured with mixed-content (both text and elements) where the order of the name components is not enforced and punctuation is preserved.

Usage/Remarks

The STS model for <name> is a series of elements in a particular order with no punctuation or spacing between elements. For situations where a different element order is desired or punctuation between name parts is wanted, use the <string-name>, which is a very loose element, which may contain text, numbers, special characters, generated text, and any or all of the naming elements, such as <surname>.
If the name parts are unknown or untagged, put the whole name within the <string-name> element, for example, “<string-name>Ice Cube</string-name>”. Use of the <string-name> element is more likely to lead to better searching in a repository than merely leaving the person’s name untagged.
