Usually, each contact has a certain type. In the given example in the documentation, there are two contacts, each of type ADMINISTRATIVE_POINT_OF_CONTACT:<br><a href="http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/dataset/4fa7b334-ce0d-4e88-aaae-2e0c138d049e/contact">http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/dataset/4fa7b334-ce0d-4e88-aaae-2e0c138d049e/contact</a><br><br>However, paging through the datasets, I hit contacts that somehow look different. For example, they don't have a type, which breaks a script if you want to find the primary administrative contact, for example:<br>http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/dataset/570489ac-e114-4a17-9340-2e01ee7d9ee3/contact<br><br>Is that intended?
