Publisher relationship and GCIS organizations

[amruelama]

Elsevier uses brand names or imprints such as 'Academic Press' in it's publishing. How do we differentiate this under GCIS 'publisher'? As we don't have publisher as a resource, we may have to use this relation under organizations.

Another example for imprint in GCIS:

Ok, after looking into this, I think we should make the imprint its own organization, and then add a relationship to the parent publisher. Not sure whether we should add a new relationship "imprint of" or just say that imprints are "units" or "divisions" of their parent company. I lean towards the latter, but happy to hear an argument on the other side.

I lean towards "division" as the most accurate here.

Ok, does that work for you, Amrutha? Let's just have imprints have their own organization records and have a relationship to the parent company as "divisions of".

@rasherman Sounds good to me. It makes more sense to have imprints as 'division of' the main publisher.
