Is it worth adding a new property instead of using other_names
?
from popolo-spec.
I would say it's fine to use other_names
as long as there's a consistent way of referencing it.

In Germany such abbreviations have a legal foundation and legal inplications. That is one more reason to use a specific property.

@akuckartz Can you give an example to help to document the use case?

We are looking into this as well, and have settled in our internal implementation on code
. This is based on the formal "abbreviated name" registered with the Australian Electoral Commission: http://www.aec.gov.au/Parties_and_Representatives/Party_Registration/Registered_parties/index.htm

How does code
differ semantically from identifier
?
from popolo-spec.
identifier
can be repeated, we needed to have a strict one-to-code relation of each political Party having a code, rather than having to specify a generic identifier and then have a controlled vocabulary for each a 'party code' identifier type.
Although, in our implementation we've attached this on a subclass of Organisation called Party, so it still conforms.

@jpmckinney Official short names are for example SPD or F.D.P. (the dots are part of this short name) but longer ones such as "Tierschutzallianz" also exist.

FYI, perhaps an issue to raise with EU's Core Public Organisation Vocabulary working group.
from popolo-spec.
The CPOV draft currently states this:
5.1.3. Property: identifier [0..n]
Many organisations are referred to by an acronym or some other identifier. For
example, the ECB for the European Central Bank, OLAF for the European Anti-Fraud
Office, and so on. These are formally recognised by the European Commission
which provides a list of such acronyms.
In the RDF release of the CPOV, this property is bound to org:identifier.
A footnote refers to http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/cybernews/abbreviations.htm
I will probably raise an issue for CPOV to suggest adding political parties. EDIT: Done, see https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/asset/cpov/issue/extend-description-identifier

ROLL UP
- Add guidance to use
other_names
for all/most names - Add guidance to use
identifiers
for official abbreviations (e.g. "Registered Abbreviation" in Australia), with ascheme
matching the issuer of abbreviations (e.g. "Australian Electoral Commission")
