Comments

Preferably, at the time of capturing the data, the Name may be verified on the basis of some documentary evidence like Birth certificate, School Leaving certificate, Ration card etc.

The sub-strings ( in any order) in the Full Name may represent:

Given name/First name (>=1)
Surname/family name/Last name (>=0)
Middle name (>=0)
Patronymic / father’s -name (>=0)
Metronymic / mother’s -name (>=0)
Generational-Identifier (>=0)
Village Name >=0
Any other name type (>=0) etc.
The additional requirement of capturing information like Surname / Given name(s) is domain specific, hence NOT covered in this Standard.

However, this specific information regarding Given Name(s), Surname can be derived from Full name string, by tagging / identifying the corresponding sub-strings positions, as specified in OASIS- CIQ-XNL version 2.0.

Name of the person should not include Appellation, which is a separate data element, and would be prefixed with name of the person while displaying / printing.
