From the "Beyond the Repository" project (notes https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QXLbvEqUS5GGfH7CozcyvX_om8w_xOTH0psmNWCATzM/edit): suggested changes to "2.2.2. Bag Metadata: bag-info.txt":

Contact-Name Provenance: BagIt Definition: Person at the source organization who is responsible for the content transfer. Suggested edit to BagIt spec: consider changing “person” to “Name of individual or group”

Contact-Phone Provenance: BagIt Definition: International format telephone number of person or position responsible. Suggested edit to BagIt spec: consider changing “person or position” to “individual or group”

Contact-Email Provenance: BagIt Definition: Fully qualified email address of person or position responsible. Suggested edit to BagIt spec: consider changing “person or position” to “individual or group”

Hi John,

I agree “Name of individual or group” is a more inclusive designation than person. Not sure if this will matter, or whether it will help to consider "Entity" or "Agent" as well.

Just a thought. Kind regards, Tibaut
