The "Affiliations" field contains the organizations associated with a particular site. Organization type refers to the type of the overarching organization--the organization that created or administers the site. The organization type varies; sometimes it is clearly a university, non-profit or governmental organization. Other times, the creator doesn't appear to be an organization; in these cases, the organization type refers to what the site is or does as a whole: i.e. a blog, electronic archive, news.
