base surname
type: DatatypeProperty
domain: A Person's name

disambiguating description

first name (Biodes)
type: DatatypeProperty
domain: A Person's name
range: string
comment: A First name is a combination of a given name, a patronym (if any) and a given name suffix. This property is only to be used by data providers who have combined these name elements into one field (following the BioDes structure). First name is equivalent to BioDes:voornaam.

type: DatatypeProperty
sub property of: given name
domain: A Person's name
range: string
comment: A Given name suffix is a name part that is appended to a given name. In the name of the fifteenth-century Duke of Burgundy Philip the Good, for example, "the Good" is the Given name suffix.
label: toevoegsel voornaam @nl

honorific suffix
type: DatatypeProperty
sub property of: suffix (BioDes)
domain: A Person's name
range: string
comment: An Honorific suffix is a name part that is appended to distinguish someone

infix (BioDes)
type: DatatypeProperty

infix title
type: DatatypeProperty
sub property of: infix (BioDes)
domain: A Person's name
range: string
comment: An Infix title designates a title in the middle of a name
label: adellijke titel in het midden van een naam @nl

initials
type: DatatypeProperty
domain: A Person's name
range: string
comment: A2A:PersonNameInitials
comment: An initial is the first letter of a person's given name (or sometimes a combination of letters). The Initials property can be used to separately record the initial(s) of a person's given name(s). Each initial should be followed by a dot. It is recommended to always use the Initials property to record initials, but if only the initials of a given name are known, they may also be recorded using pnv:givenName (or pnv:firstName). Example 1: "Peter R. de Vries" would be modelled using pnv:initials "P.R." and pnv:givenName "Peter R.". Example 2: "C.Joh. Kieviet" would ideally be modelled using pnv:initials "C.Joh.", but pnv:givenName "C.Joh." is also possible. Example 3: "H.A.F.M.O. (Hans) van Mierlo" would be modelled using pnv:initials "H.A.F.M.O." and pnv:givenName "Hans".

comment: Literal name designates a full personal name. This property may only be left blank if a person's name was unknown or if a person was unnamed (e.g. a child that died shortly after being born), in which cases the property pnv:nameSpecification should state "unknown" or "unnamed".
label: volledige naam @nl
alternative label: letterlijke naam @nl

name specification
type: DatatypeProperty
domain: A Person's name
comment: The Name specification property can be used to specify the type of name, e.g. to discern between name variants, or to state that the person's name is unknown or that the person was unnamed, e.g. in the case of a child that died before it was given a name. It can be a string (e.g. "unknown", "unnamed", "religious name", "stage name", "pen name", "married name" or "birth name") or a reference to a controlled vocabulary.
