Pascal,

Thanks for the clarification. I must have been looking at the worng 
ArchiveOrganizationReference. I think...but will definately check...that 
the organizational reference in a LifeCycleEvent is there because this in 
information that may persist as a data file and/or metadata moves from 
Archive to Archive. For example the Census Bureau may be the originating 
Archive and entered specific LifeCycleEvents. Then it goes to Archive A 
which does some particular processing or updating based on corrections 
issued from the Census Bureau. Archive B then obtains a copy from Archive 
A and creates local copies in a different statistical package. At this 
point the LifeCycleEvents could contain events performed by three 
different Archives. At leass I believe this was the intention.
