Name of an institution or organization (for example, university, corporation) with which a contributor is affiliated.
All levels of a multi-tier organization are listed within a single <aff> element; for example, a program, a department, and a university may be part of the same <aff>. Similarly, both a division and a corporation would be inside one <aff>.
The linkage from a contributor to an affiliation should be made using the ID/IDREF mechanism. The @id attribute of an <aff> element will be pointed to from one or more <contrib> elements.
