CustodianAppellation:
class_uri: crm:E41_Appellation
description: |
An alternative name or label variant for a CustodianName.
CustodianAppellation represents names that are NOT the most common emic
designator but are still used to refer to the custodian.
CRITICAL: CustodianAppellations are linked to CustodianName (NOT directly to Custodian).
Only CustodianIdentifier can identify the Custodian hub.
CIDOC-CRM E41_Appellation: Any identifier expressed as text (names, titles, labels).
SKOS: altLabel for alternative lexical labels (trading names, colloquial names, abbreviations).
**Use for**:
- Alternative names and abbreviations (e.g., "BnF" for "Bibliothèque nationale de France")
- Translations and multilingual variants
- Historical names and spelling variants
- Colloquial/informal names
**Connection Architecture**:
- CustodianName (preferred label) → skos:altLabel → CustodianAppellation (variants)
- Enables multiple variant appellations per canonical name
**Enables**:
- Multilingual name representation (via appellation_language)
- Name type classification (official, vernacular, historical, translation)
- Relationship to naming authority
- Temporal validity (when name was used)
