4.2 Author or Creator
Label: Creator
Element Description: The person or organization primarily responsible for creating the intellectual content of the resource. For example, authors in the case of written documents, artists, photographers, or illustrators in the case of visual resources.
Guidelines for creation of content:
Creators should be listed separately in the same order that they appear in the publication. Personal names should be listed surname or family name first, followed by forename or given name. When in doubt, give the name as it appears, and do not invert.
Examples
<META NAME="DC.Creator" CONTENT="Duncan, Phyllis-Anne">
Creator="Melendez Santiago, Maria Luz"
Creator="Maimonides"
BUT:
<META NAME="DC.Creator" CONTENT="Park Sung Hee">
In the case of organizations where there is clearly a hierarchy present, list the parts of the hierarchy from largest to smallest, separated by full stops.
Examples
Creator="United States. Internal Revenue Service"
Creator="Elvis Presley Fan Club"
<META NAME="DC.Creator" CONTENT="Federal Aviation Administration. Aviation Safety Program.">
NOT:
<META NAME="DC.Creator" CONTENT="Aviation Safety Program of the Federal Aviation Administration">
If it is not clear whether there is a hierarchy present, or unclear which is the larger or smaller portion of the body, give the name as it appears in the item.
<META NAME="DC.Creator" CONTENT="Art Institute of Chicago">
Creator="Association of the Bar of the City of New York"
Creator="Baltimore County Medical Society"
If the Creator and Publisher are the same, do not repeat the name in the Publisher area. If the nature of the responsibility is ambiguous, the recommended practice is to use Publisher for organizations, and Creator for individuals. In cases of lesser responsibility, other than creation, use Contributor.
