official website
The primary URL pertaining to an object and sanctioned by the controlling entity of that object.
The official website of any object is the single, official Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for that object. The website linked to by this URL must be controlled or sanctioned directly by the owner, manager, government, or other controller of that particular entity, or by that party's agents or proxies. The controlling party of an object can include occupiers who have effective control of the object under the auspices of the official owner or controlling party.
Either control or sanction by the responsible party meets this definition. An agent or proxy may operate the website, and an occupier with effective control under the owner's authority can also be the responsible party.
A third-party page that merely discusses the object is not its official website without the required sanction. The field identifies the single official URL for the object.
