The current three fields on the record creation page for creator first name, middle name and last name do not provide a visual cue as to where to enter the name of an Organization (or, in cataloging-speak, a 'corporate body').

Would a UI like that of DigitalHub for names (all one field, connected to LDAP and LCNAF (Library of Congress Name Authority File) work better?
