4.5. Publisher

Label: Publisher
Element Description: The entity responsible for making the resource available in its present form, such as a publishing house, a university department, or a corporate entity.
Guidelines for creation of content:
The intent of specifying this field is to identify the entity that provides access to the resource. 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.
