Note
Particularly where cataloguing is likely to be based on the content of the header, it is advisable to use generally recognized authority lists for the exact form of personal names. The attributes key or ref may also be used to reference canonical information about the author intended in an appropriate authority, such as a library catalogue or online resource.
In the case of a broadcast, use this element for the name of the company or network responsible for making the broadcast.
