Proper use of global citation count

That seemed to be a real stumper, because the fix version was delayed until post-1.6. At the time, I put in the ticket our publication ingest wasn't working and the Scopus API was outputting XML showing institutions in a big lump rather than tied to each author. Now though both of those roadblocks have been overcome. Also, unlike before, I have a not terrible approach to this. But I'm not sure if it's ideal.

For every author in the data, there is a Scopus-normalized institutional name (e.g., the author lists "Weill Medical College of Cornell University" and Scopus maps that to "Weill Cornell Medical College"), and a Scopus-generated institutional identifier (e.g., 60007997). In cases of multiple affiliations, you will see multiple institutional names and identifiers.

Here's the approach:
1. Create an object property for InformationResourceInAuthorship called ScopusInstitutionalAffiliationID.
2. ScopusInstitutionalAffiliationID has a range of foaf:organization.
3. Give foaf:organization has a data property of ScopusAffiliationName.

This will be really useful for us if we can bring these data in: it will populate our Dashboard, we can see how often our faculty actually list our institution, and we can identify patterns of inter-institutional collaboration.
Thanks for any feedback!
