Contacts: Subdivision? #299

Closed m-mohr closed 9 months ago

m-mohr commented 1 year ago

For a company as contact that has a subdivision, how can I express that?

Example:

Organization: Example Corp, Inc. Subdividion: Accounting Dept.

Beforehand I used the positionName, but after #296 I'm not sure whether that's still intended?

What I have seen in the past is profiles using a convention (organization=Government of Canada; Environment and Climate Change Canada). Having said this, given organizations have various structures/hierarchies and meanings behind them (one organization's subdivision could be another organization's branch, for example). For me, it sounds like this could be a custom element and not in core.

21-AUG-2023: The sentiment of the SWG is to leave the core as it is. Anyone, of course, can add additional member to the schema (such as subdivision) to suit their requirements.
