Documentation | This is intended to accomodate a special category of affixes to person names, such as aristocratic titles (For example, "Baron" or "Lord"), political or legal titles (Senator, Judge), academic titles (Professor), or Military rank or title (Major, Capt., etc.). Within some systems and implementation contexts, such titles may be handled simply as a PreferredSalutationCode. However, there are also implementations where it is necessary to present the two concepts separately. Senator. Ms. Sara Jones; Professor. Mr. Sam Smith; Major. Ms. Jane Doe. Such titles would not always be from an enumerated value domain, but they could be within systems implemented within specialized settings such as education, government, military, etc. Note that this is not intended to capture information such as a Position Title. |
