|
|
description: >-
|
|
Formal organizational branch or sub-organization of a heritage custodian
|
|
that operates at a specific physical location (AuxiliaryPlace).
|
|
|
|
**CRITICAL DISTINCTION FROM OrganizationalStructure**:
|
|
|
|
| OrganizationBranch | OrganizationalStructure |
|
|
|-------------------|------------------------|
|
|
| **Formal** branches with administrative status | **Informal** operational units |
|
|
| Tied to PHYSICAL LOCATION (AuxiliaryPlace) | May or may not have fixed location |
|
|
| Semi-autonomous (may have own budget, staff) | Part of main organizational hierarchy |
|
|
| Examples: Regional archive, branch library | Examples: Department, team, division |
|
|
|
|
**W3C ORG ALIGNMENT**:
|
|
|
|
`org:OrganizationalUnit` - "An Organization such as a University Support Unit
|
|
which is part of some larger FormalOrganization and only has full recognition
|
|
within the context of that FormalOrganization."
|
|
|
|
Key properties:
|
|
- `org:unitOf` - links unit to parent organization
|
|
- `org:hasSite` - links organization to physical site
|
|
- `org:hasSubOrganization` - links to sub-branches
|
|
|
|
**THREE-TIER ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL**:
|
|
|
|
1. **Custodian** (hub): The main heritage institution
|
|
2. **OrganizationBranch** (formal sub-organization):
|
|
- Located at AuxiliaryPlace
|
|
- Semi-autonomous branch
|
|
3. **OrganizationalStructure** (informal units):
|
|
- Departments, teams within branch or main org
|
|
- Can be assigned to branch via has_operational_unit
|
|
|
|
**RELATIONSHIP PATTERN**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Custodian (hub)
|
|
│
|
|
├── place_designation → CustodianPlace (main headquarters)
|
|
│ └── auxiliary_places → AuxiliaryPlace (branch sites)
|
|
│ └── hosts_branch → OrganizationBranch (THIS CLASS)
|
|
│ └── has_operational_unit → OrganizationalStructure
|
|
│
|
|
└── organizational_structure → OrganizationalStructure (main org units)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**USE CASES**:
|
|
|
|
1. **Regional Archive Branches**:
|
|
- National Archives → Regional Office Noord-Holland
|
|
- Regional office has own staff, reading room, collections
|
|
|
|
2. **University Library Branches**:
|
|
- Main library → Science Library → Medical Library
|
|
- Each branch at different campus location
|
|
|
|
3. **Museum Satellite Galleries**:
|
|
- Main museum → Contemporary Art Wing (off-site)
|
|
- Separate building, curated exhibitions
|
|
|
|
4. **Conservation/Research Centers**:
|
|
- Main institution → Conservation Lab (different building)
|
|
- Specialized facility with own staff
|
|
|
|
**Example - National Archives Branch**:
|
|
```yaml
|
|

|
|
place_name: "Regionaal Historisch Centrum Noord-Holland"
|

- unit_name: "Digitization Team"
|
|
is_branch_of: "https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/nl-na"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**DISTINCTION FROM schema:branchOf**:
|
|
|
|
Schema.org `branchOf` links commercial branches (e.g., bank branches).
|
|
`org:unitOf` is more appropriate for heritage institutions as it:
|
|
- Models public sector organizational hierarchies
|
|
- Allows for semi-autonomous units
|
|
- Integrates with formal organizational structures
