           According to the Resource Metadata Recommendation, organisations
           “can be hierarchical and range in size and scope.  At a high level,
           an organisation could be a university, observatory, or government
           agency.  At a finer level, it could be a specific scientific
           project, mission, or individual researcher.”

         <xs:documentation>
           The main purpose of an organisation as a registered resource is
           to serve as a publisher of other resources.
