Provides a description of an organisation or person who has a role for the dataset or resource. 'Originator' (a mandatory field) is the person or organisation who created the resource. 'Custodian' (a mandatory field) is the person or organisation that accepts responsibility for the data and ensures appropriate care and maintenance. If the data has been lodged with a MEDIN approved Data Archive Centre then the DAC should be specified as the Custodian. 'Distributor' (a conditional field) is the person or organisation that distributes the resource. 'pointOfContact' is the party who can be contacted for acquiring knowledge about or acquisition of the resource. There are further designations listed at 'Annex H.
