# Publisher This is the organization which published/produced/funded the learning object. Most of the time it will be an entity such as University, school, company, etc.\ Please note that the **provider** is where the learning object is hosted. It must not be mistaken with the **publisher** which is the organization that produced/funded the learning object. The **author** is a person who contributed to make the learning object.\ \ So for example if we have a MOOC from Coursera with professor X from Stanford, then we would have:\ \- **provider** is coursera\ \- **publisher** is stanford\ \- **author** is professor X\ \ On the other hand, if the learning object is an article hosted on stanford website by professor Y, then we would have\ \- **provider** is stanford\ \- **publisher** is stanford\ \- **author** is professor Y --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
