Hi Swpb, I saw your proposal at Wikidata:Property_proposal/Organization. Would it be an idea to stretch it to organizations, to make it even more generic? What would be a good title in that case?

I think it can apply to most formal organizations without a name change--the "corporate" in the term doesn't imply any particular legal structure. "Corporate officer" is a widely-used term with an agreed-upon meaning; I'm not sure there exists a more generic-sounding term that carries the same precision. I also want to make sure the property is limited to persons with specific, named, well-defined roles in an organization; we don't want to create a generic "employee" inverse of employer (P108) that will invite attempts to add all known members of an organization.

I understand. It will be my backgroun in another language that corporate sounds as "business". Thank you!. I will create the property in a few minutes.
