author_list and editor_list values are failing validation when 'organization' names — such as "NSSDC" and "PDS Cartography and Imaging Sciences Node" — are used. In some cases the group name is the most appropriate; in others, no individual author/editor is known. In addition, the current system makes it difficult to transfer information using DataCite.
Additional Details
This SCR was migrated from JIRA as CCB-356 -- Update Constraints on Author/Editor Lists.
The SCR proposes that classes List_Author and List_Editor be substituted for attributes and , respectively. Each has Person and/or Organization child classes which can be used to specify people and organizations in detail. Included are new orcid and rorid attributes. The SCR also defines class List_Contributor in Citation_Information which can be used to identify data collectors, archive producers, PDS entities, etc. that do not qualify as authors or editors. The information is specified in DataCite-like formats that make transfer to systems such as ADS easier.
Full specification and examples may be found in "CCB-356_proposal_v2b.pptx"
and in the context of Citation_Information will be marked *deprecated*, meaning that they still may be used by data providers but that the system will offer a warning that their usage is no longer supported and will be removed from the Information Model at a future date.

See attachments for proposed schema and examples.
### Applicable Components
Information Model (IM); Standards Reference (DPH); Data Providers Handbook (DPH)
### Proposed Solution
Adopt the solution proposed in "Additional Information" which defines a DataCite-like syntax in which each author and editor is a class by itself. The proposal also adds a contributor class to Citation_Information that can be used to recognize people and organizations that are not authors or editors. The proposal incorporates the use of a person's and an organization's to minimize confusion among similar names.
### Requested Changes
Incorporate changes into the IM and the DPH as stipulated in the enclosures and as noted in the Additional Information.
