OBO non-personal and non-invertable names in name groups

When a name is not a personal name, for instance when it is a corporate or group name (for example IBM, or The New York Ballet) or when it is a non-invertible names (for example Yoshimi Yoshiaki), use the nameType attribute in a nameGrp element.

The value of the nameType attribute can be nonPersonal for non-personal names and nonInvertible for non-invertible names.

A name is only non-invertible when the copy editor has added the text [non-invertible] after the name in the manuscript. Do not capture the [non-invertible] text.

Example capture of a non-personal name:
