Maybe #4330 could also find its way into this. |

@gmackenz given that you are rocking it today :D |

This seems OK to me but I really would like to wait for a week or so to see if anyone else has any input or approval. The proposed property |
No, there's globally to my knowledge no Jurisdiction where a legal representative can be a non natural person.
Sounds good to me. |
|
Should I in the meantime add #4330 |
|
My preference would be to keep #4330 separate from this change. |
|
@gmackenz hey, do you feel comfortable with the change now? No opposition seems to have been raised. |

This reverts commit 10223a4.
Background regarding the legal information required on company run websites in Europe
Germany, Austria and other jurisdiction require companies (organizations) to publish all legal information of a company on their website. Also Google does that for example here:
Google Germany Imprint
In fact for example to be eligible to run Google Ads you are required to ad the information to your own website.
It is advised by many search engines to use this page (or any other about us page) to contain the structured data about the website publishing organization. Facebook for example also allows to add the information to pages:
Add an Impressum to your Facebook Page
We seemingly have everything in there inside organization, but not the basic legal fields that are even required by Google to do certain things.
Fixes: #4366
Addition of new properties to Organization
To allow standardisation of the information set I have tried with this PR to align the organization structured data with the legal requirements of the imprint by allowing more values.
Upon close inspection following values are not mandatory but can be contained in the Imprint:
legal representative
Example Implementation
The example below contains also a proposal for stock capital, if desired.
