Different address book programs have different way of maintaining name fields. For example, MS Outlook, Open Contacts and Plaxo have surname, given name, middle name and full name, while Mozilla Thunderbird maintains only surname, given name and middle name.
In addition, Open Contacts uses the combination of surname, given name , middle name and full name to uniquely identify a contact without standalone local ID, while MS outlook allow replication of such.
Most existing address book programs were designed to store people only. MS Outlook may handle organizational contacts through hacking -- those contacts without surname and given name is considered as organizations. Open Contacts clearly distinguish between people contacts and organizational contacts.
