Agent - An Agent is an individual, organization, or public agency that holds rights, interests, or restrictions in land, holds or files land records, or has established a land description or monument.

Agent Name - A text name for the agent that can be used for display or printing or interface uses. The agent name comes from the Individual, Organization, or Agencies and is a concatenation of these values. The Agent Name at this level is redundant and does not reflect a standard requirement. It is included to assist with physical implementation. Domain: text

Agent Name corresponds to the following data commonly used by surveyors:  land surveyor's name.

Note: this example and the others in the crosswalk illustrate correlations between commonly used surveying information and attributes in the Cadastral Data Content Standard.  However, this example is not meant to cover every possible surveying situation.  Thus you may find, upon reviewing the crosswalk, that you can think of instances when additional correlations can be found between the Standard and information surveyor collect.
