Form of the Name
When names appear in multiple forms, one form needs to be chosen. Criteria for choice are
- Fullness (e.g. Full names vs. initials only)
- Language of the name.
- Spelling (choose predominant form)
Entry element:
- John Smith or Smith, John?
- Mao Zedong or Zedong, Mao? (Mao Tse Tung?)
