Appendix D - Differentiating Between Multiple Names

[ Table of Contents ]

This appendix contains sample XML code to illustrate how exchanging parties can differentiate between a person's multiple names by using the enumerations for the <PersonName> container. This example uses two enumerations from the range of available enumerations for the <PersonName> container. Exchanging parties will need to agree on which particular enumerations they will use.

<n:PersonName n:Type="CommonUse">
  <n:NameElement n:ElementType="LastName">Citizen</n:NameElement>
  <n:NameElement n:ElementType="FirstName">Fred</n:NameElement>
  <n:NameElement n:ElementType="MiddleName">Wiremu</n:NameElement>
  <n:NameElement n:ElementType="MiddleName">John</n:NameElement>
</n:PersonName>
<n:PersonName n:Type="KnownAs">
  <n:NameElement n:ElementType="LastName">Tones</n:NameElement>
  <n:NameElement n:ElementType="FirstName">Pleasant</n:NameElement>
</n:PersonName>
