name: name

name is one of the three relations for compounding in UD (together with compound and mwe). It is used for proper nouns constituted of multiple nominal elements. It is not used to replace the usual relations in a phrasal or clausal name, like titles of books, where the actual dependencies should be preserved.

Ecco l'arringa di Tiziana Maiolo . 
name(Tiziana, Maiolo)

Names are annotated in a flat, head-initial structure, in which all words in the name modify the first one using the name label. This also works for prepostions or determiners and numerals that are part of the names.

Formula 1/NUM . 
name(Formula, 1)
Marcello Dell' Utri . 
name(Marcello, Dell')
name(Marcello, Utri)

Words joined by name should all be part of a minimal noun phrase; otherwise regular syntactic relations should be used. For organization names with clear syntactic modification structure, the dependencies should reflect the syntactic modification structure using regular syntactic relation.

L' ordine Mauriziano . 
det(ordine, L')
amod(ordine, Mauriziano)
Il Ministero di gli Interni 
det(Ministero, Il)
nmod(Ministero, Interni)
det(Interni, gli)
case(Interni, di)

In addition, regular syntactic relations are used:

Mariatersa Di Lascia
name(Mariatersa, Lascia)
case(Lascia, Di)
Università di Pristina 
name(Università, Pristina)
case(Pristina, di)
