Based on the intro: > Organizations/institutions are a key part of the scholarly communications ecosystem. However, we lack an openly licensed, independently run organizational identifier standard to use for common affiliation and citation use cases. I would assume any organization at all that anyone with a scholarly publication has an 'affiliation' with such that they'd list on the publication they are an author of. The obvious use case of course is for organizations interested in tracking their 'number of publications from affiliated scholars'.
