<institution>

Institution Name

Name of an institution or organization (for example, a university or corporation).

Remarks

Common Practice: All levels of a multi-tier organization are typically listed within a single <institution> element. For example, a program, a department, and a university may be part of the same <institution>. Similarly both a corporation and a division within the corporation might be inside one <institution>.
<institution content-type="edu">
    University of Frostbite Falls, Dept of Campus Security, 
    Dept of Moose and Squirrel Security, 
    Office of the Acting Dean</institution>
Alternatively, a divisional distinction such as an “organization” element with subordinate “dept” and an “office” inside a department could tagged using multiple <institution> elements with the @content-type attribute differentiating institution, department, and office:
...
  <institution content-type="edu">
    University of Frostbite Falls</institution>
  <institution content-type="dept">
    Dept of Campus Security</institution>
  <institution content-type="dept">
    Dept of Moose and Squirrel Security</institution>
  <institution content-type="office">
    Office of the Acting Dean</institution>
  ...
As yet another alternative, the same distinction could tagged using multiple <named-content> elements:
<institution content-type="edu">
    University of Frostbite Falls
    <named-content content-type="dept">Dept of Campus Security
    </named-content>
    <named-content content-type="dept">Dept of Moose and Squirrel
    Security</named-content>
    <named-content content-type="office">Office of the Acting Dean
    </named-content>
  </institution>

Related Elements

The <institution> element holds only the name of the institution. To record an institutional identifier, such as a “Ringgold” or “ISNI” identifier, the element wrapper element <institution-wrap> should be used to hold both the institution name (<institution>) and the identifier (<institution-id>).
The elements used in an address may include the address class elements: <addr-line>, <city>, <country>, <fax>, <institution>, <institution-wrap>, <state>, <phone>, and <postal-code> and the address linking class elements: <email>, <ext-link>, and <uri>.
