Organization (experimental)
Experimental areas of the specification are published to illustrate the design direction, allow implementers to prototype, while taking additional feedback.
This document defines the Organization resource.
Organizations are political/legal entities that generally organize a group of people that are stored in the OSDI system’s database in some way.
The Organization resource is as similar as possible to the Person* resource, removing some fields that only apply to people (e.g. family name, gender identity, etc) and adding others like legal status and logo. However, the similarities are much greater. Organizations have email and postal addresses, facebook and twitter pages, etc. Many systems will store Organizations and People in the same database table and separate them by a type field or otherwise.
Sections:
Endpoints and URL structures
OSDI does not specify specific endpoints and link structures for compliant systems to use. Rather, because OSDI is a HAL+JSON API, endpoints and structures are defined in the links section of each returned resource, starting with the API Entry Point link.
HAL’s link structure lets an API consumer move through API levels, resources, and collections by parsing and following links. While most systems will not change the value of their links often and obey RESTful design principles, the value of each link when that resource is retrieved is the only canonical value, and it can change at any time.
The link relation label for a Person resource is osdi:organization for a single Organization resource or osdi:organizations for a collection of Organization resources.
Fields
The field names for this resource, with standard names, punctuation and capitalization, and values where appropriate.
Note: As with the entire OSDI specification, the specific fields a compliant system implements will vary between each system, as will the fields each system requires when creating or updating resources, which fields are writeable, and the operations you are allowed to perform on each resource.
Common Fields
A set of common fields that appear on all resources is included first, for reference.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| identifiers | strings[] | A unique string array of identifiers in the format [system name]:[id]. See the general concepts document for more information about identifiers. |
| created_date | datetime | A read-only property representing the date and time the resource was created on the local system. |
| modified_date | datetime | A read-only property representing the date and time the resource was last modified on the local system. |
Control Headers
An “osdi:control” JSON object may contain common OSDI control headers which can be used on an OSDI POST, PUT, PATCH, Helper or other function calls to modify server behavior. Read More
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| return_response | boolean | Defaults to true, if specified as false, the operation does not need to return the resource representation in the response |
Organization Fields
A list of fields specific to the Organization resource. A few things are
purposefully distinct from Person and other objects. For instance,
organization for the organization’s name is unique so an organization
resource is easily distinguishable from other resource types.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| organization | string | The organization’s human-readable common name. This may not be a full name, if the organization, for instance mostly goes by an acronym – it should be the value that would be in a listing for the organization and in prose. |
| legal_status | flexenum | The organization’s legal status, or “unofficial” if the organization does not have a corresponding legal entity. Common values will be “llc”, “sole prop”, “c3”, “c4”, and “pac”. |
| logo_image_url | string | A URL string pointing to a publicly available image file of the organization’s logo. It should be a format supported in the <img> html tag. |
| site_url | string | A URL pointing to the organization’s own public homepage. Whereas browser_url (below) may be to a local page contextual to the system, site_url should always be the organization’s own site. |
| summary | string | A short one-line description of the organization. If the organization key contains an acronym, this would be where you include the full name. |
| description | string | A longer description of the organization, possibly contextual to the origin_system the record comes from. |
Common to Person Fields
A list of fields common to the Person resource. These fields are preserved in both so processing data can largely be the same for each. Some of these fields have different connotations in the Organization resource. For instance party_identification and languages_spoken are more about the official support/affiliation from the organization rather than about the total or average of all the organization’s members.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| party_identification | flexenum | Flexenum describing the organization’s politcal party identification. One of “None”, “Democratic”, “Republican”, etc. Note that this is not about the organization’s political ‘tilt’ but only if it has direct association with the political party |
| source | string | Information about the source where this organization record was acquired. Example: “facebook-ad-october” |
| languages_spoken | strings[] | Unique string array of RFC5646 tags representing the languages spoken by the organization. Example: en, en-US, fr-CA, pt-BR |
| browser_url | string | A URL string pointing to the publicly available organization page on the web, such as a public profile page. |
| administrative_url | string | A URL string pointing to the organization’s administrative page on the web, such as a page for managing this organization’s record. |
| postal_addresses | Postal Addresses[] | An array of postal address object hashes associated with the organization. |
| email_addresses | Email Addresses[] | An array of email address object hashes associated with the organization. |
| phone_numbers | Phone Numbers[] | An array of phone number object hashes associated with the organization. |
| profiles | Profiles[] | An array of profile object hashes for online services related to the organization. |
| custom_fields | Custom Fields | An object hash of key/value pairs associated with the organization created by a user rather than a service or vendor. |
Related Objects
These JSON hashes included in the table above are broken out into their own tables for readability, rather than independent resources with their own endpoints.

Scenario: Creating a new organization (POST)
Posting to the organizations collection endpoint will allow you to create a new organization. The response is the new organization that was created. While each implementing system will require different fields, any optional fields not included in a post operation should not be set at all by the receiving system, or should be set to default values.

Scenario: Modifying a organization (PUT)
You can update a organization by calling a PUT operation on that organization’s endpoint. Your PUT should contain fields that you want to update. Missing fields will be ignored by the receiving system. Systems may also ignore PUT values, depending on whether fields you are trying to modify are read-only or not. You may set an attribute to nil by including the attribute using nil for value.
Note: Modifying members of an array separately is not supported. To change the contents of an array, first GET the current contents and then PUT back only those you wish to keep.
