[Esip-documentation] More options in publisher_type definition

[Angelika Heil]

Hello, 

I would like to make a suggestion for an eventual update of ACDD:

ACDD-1.3 Chapter 3, Global attributes, defines publisher_type as follows: 
"Specifies type of publisher with one of the following: 'person', 'group', 'institution', or 'position'. If this attribute is not specified, the publisher is assumed to be a person.“

I would like to request including "repository" as additional allowed entry. Alternatively, "archive“ would also be an option. 
The reason is that neither 'person' nor 'group', 'institution', 'position' are adequate specifiers for data published via a repository (e.g. data published through the World Data Center for Climate (WDCC, http://www.wdc-climate.de)

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Angelika
