Notes
This diagram reflects what VIVO's custom form for educational background creates. Note that we have also included a draft proposal for asserting that an AwardedDegree is also an instance of vivo:AwardOrHonorReceipt to handle the times when a degree is received with an honor such as "cum laude," in which case there would be an additional set of vivo:relates and vivo:relatedBy relationships to an instance of a vivo:AwardOrHonor, much as an instance of the class vivo:AcademicDegree is also related.

There is a simpler alternative that only represents the date on which the degree was earned, and avoids the need for a vivo:EducationalProcess. Note that this simpler version is not what the VIVO application itself produces via its custom form for interactively adding or editing a person's educational background – we include it here to explain possible alternative implementations. Note that this simpler version will not render correctly in VIVO v1.6 - v1.8.

- The entity of interest here is the AwardedDegree (dark blue in the center of the figure). The AwardedDegree is a relationship between a Person and an AcademicDegree. The AcademicDegree can be considered "abstract." The AwardedDegree is concrete – a person received the degree from a university at a particular time. VIVO provides a controlled vocabulary of AcademicDegrees. Note that the label for the degree is on the AcademicDegree.
- The AwardedDegree has an associated EducationalProcess, which contains attributes of the AwardedDegree. The EducationalProcess has a DateTimeInterval. See DateTimeValue and DateTimeInterval Models for detail.
- See Organization Model for details regarding the modeling of organizations
For a list of AcademicDegrees, use the SPARQL query below
Code Block SELECT ?s ?name WHERE { ?s a vivo:AcademicDegree . ?s rdfs:label ?name . } ORDER BY ?name- See Person Model for details regarding the modeling of people
