Modeling institutional affiliation

(Paul)

About a year ago, I put in a JIRA ticket to ask how we should model co-author affiliation:
https://issues.library.cornell.edu/browse/VIVOONT-444

• At some point (later this year probably), we will need to represent our affiliations of non-WCMC co-authors in VIVO.
  Naturally, we do not have an authoritative source for this data. What we do have is an assertion from Scopus that at the time the paper was published, a given author had a reported affiliation. 
  This really complicates the standard way for representing people and appointments. I'm not sure we can assume that someone whose affiliation was the same in 2006 and 2008, had that same affiliation in 2007. Or, that a person who had affiliation A in 2008 ceased to have that affiliation if that person had a different affiliation in 2009. This person could have dual affiliations!
  How can we assert affiliation without causing a mess?

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.

Review and prioritization of changes for VIVO 1.6

• Publication types and coordination between Sympectic Elements publication types and VIVO/BIBO types
• Artistic Works 
• Research grants – what are the differences between grants, awards, and contracts?  How do NIH and NSF (and other funding agencies) model grants, so that VIVO can align data harvested from NIH RePORTER or research.gov? 
  
  • Annual amendments, side amendments, the new app R01
• Distinctions among North American, British, continental European, Australian and New Zealand academic position types
• Courses and semester classes – can we finalize the Course as a continuing entity that is realized in Semester Class events?
• Representing and displaying re-publication or performance

Other recent issues

• Former titles of organizations
  • will it work for Brown, as Nicholas suggests, to create a separate organization with the then-current title and link to it from the current organization with the hasPredecessorOrganization property?
