In person object template, there is an "org:" field:

As I understand, this is for organization object(?).

Yes.

In which case this is needed?

The query reference manual has the following information: 'This attribute may appear in any object type. It points to an existing organisation object representing the entity that holds the resource, (in the cases where the RIPE Database object represents an Internet resource). In other objects, it can be used to specify the business relations. The value of this attribute is the ID of the organisation object.'

So far I have never seen a person object with "org:" specified..

Here is an example: http://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/person-role/TK1136-RIPE.html. -- Thor Kottelin http://www.anta.net/
