Hi Engin, all! [ apologies for potentially replying out of synch, I haven't read to the end of my mail yet... ] 2 comments: . format: unless we add an (issuing) country indication, the string in itself might not mean anything . verification / use: who is supoosed to do what with this piece of information? And, depending on what we want to do with this info, is it "help-yourself", or is the NCC expected to do any sort of verification? If the latter, what would the cost vs. benefit of doing so be?

From the feedback we've got, it looks like we want another attribute in the organisation object, in which users can put an "organisation number" or an "organisation-id". This can be a VAT number, or a number assigned by a certain Chamber of Commerce, or any kind of other ID.
We would propose calling it "business-id:". We have thought of "org-id:" but the org-ID is the string we will have in "organisation:" attribute, so calling another attribute "org-id:" would be confusing. "national-id:" would have been another idea, but some IDs might not be a national one, like an ID assigned uniquely in the EU. So the proposal is to add business-id: [optional] [multiple] as a new attribute. It is optional, as an organisation might not have such an ID. It is multiple, because an organisation might have multiple such IDs.
