A.2 Guidelines That Pertain Only to ORGANIZATION

A.2.1 - Corporate designators such as "Co." are considered part of an organization name.
A.2.2 - Miscellaneous types of proper names that are to be tagged as ORGANIZATION include sports teams, stock exchanges, multinational organizations, political parties, orchestras, unions, governmental bodies at any level of importance.
A.2.3 - Miscellaneous types of proper names referring to facilities (e.g., factories, hotels, universities, airports, hospitals, churches) will be tagged as ORGANIZATION unless (1) the name is clearly the name of the structure/place and not of an organization, or (2) the name is known to be the name of an organization but is used only in reference to the facility as a structure/place. Some of the tagged strings may be marked optional in the answer key if the annotator thinks that it's highly unlikely (but not inconceivable) that the name represents an organization.
