Description

Overview of the Feature Request While testing https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/12248 it was found that the institution "Geological Survey of the Netherlands" was showing up as a person's name instead of an Institution. This request is to add functionality to improve on that.

Any brand new behavior do you want to add to Dataverse? ability to configure new institutions since the NameFinder data files are old

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request 12248 and the NameFinder handling around dataverse.person-or-org.org-phrase-array. Determine how institution names are currently sourced and configured; done means a configurable addition allows “Geological Survey of the Netherlands” and similar names to be identified as institutions rather than persons.
