Remarks

Names of individuals are represented in the manner the name is normally spoken, with the family name, surname, or nearest cultural parallel thereunto separated by slashes (U+002F / ). Based on the dynamic nature or unknown compositions of naming conventions, it is difficult to provide a more detailed name piece structure to handle every case. The PersonalNamePieces are provided optionally for systems that cannot op‐ erate effectively with less structured information.The Personal Name shall be seen as the primary name representation, with name pieces as optional auxiliary information; in particular it is recommended that all name parts in PersonalNamePieces appear within the PersonalName in some form, possibly adjusted for gender specific suffixes or the like. It is permitted for the payload to contain information not present in any name piece substructure.

The name may be translated or transliterated into different languages or scripts using the TranslatedNames collection. It is recommended, but not required, that if the name pieces are used, the same pieces are used in each translation and transliteration.

A Type is used to specify the particular variation that this name is. For example; The name Type could indicate that this name is a name taken at immigration.

Note
Alternative approaches to representing names are being considered for future versions of this specifcation.
