Hello,

I’m seeking clarification on how [data.gov](http://data.gov/) will use the publisher and subOrganizationOf fields provided in a DCAT-US v3.0 metadata record, as shown in this example:

"publisher": {

"@type": "Organization",

"name": "Office of Natural Resources Revenue",

"subOrganizationOf": [

{

"@type": "Organization",

"name": "Department of the Interior"

}

]

}

Specifically, could you please provide guidance on:

How publisher and subOrganizationOf are used within the [data.gov](http://data.gov/) catalog (DCAT-US v3.0 schema)? For example is subOrganizationOf used to filter or group child organizations under a parent agency such as the Department of the Interior?.
How subOrganizationOf will be displayed on individual metadata record pages in [data.gov](http://data.gov/) (DCAT-US v3.0 schema).

Any information on how these fields appear or are applied in the catalog and record detail pages would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jennifer
