Hello everyone,

 

Does anyone know any international conventions/standards for name entries in
databases (eg contact databases, archives catalogues, etc)?

 

We're currently trying to find a CONSISTENT solution for how to enter proper
names such as:

 

Paul van de Weijen (van de Weijen, Paul // Weijen, Paul van de??)

Antonio Perez Gonzalez (how to treat several last names )

Anna Maria Isabelle Miller (how to treat several first names)

Etc etc...

 

In the past people entered data in the contact database in a myriad of
different ways (a nightmare for a records management person...)

 

Thank you!

 

Kind regards

 

Stefanie Pohle
