I will come back to the answers I got about II later. Thanks for this. I have another question: about EntityNamePart in the CEN-standard.
There seems to be no way to tell if a certain namepart actually are name-initials. f.e. Sometimes people often have more firstnames. Often they have a name that is used for casual contacts, and they have names which are in their passport, their official firstnames, which are often long names. Often, these long names are only known by initials Now I am extracting data from a local GP-system, and there is stored the shortname (f.e. Johnny) and the initials J.B. His friends call him Johnny B. Good. The second name in that system is only known by Initial. I have to deal with that. Because I want to present as much information as is possible in the standard, and I want to present the shortname (GIVEN NAME=Johnny), FAMILY NAME=Good, and because I want to give as much information as possible, because this can be important to identify a person, I want to add an extra entityNamePart: J.B. And now I am looking for a namepartType or namePartQualifier for initials. Someone have an idea?
