Class: Organization

An institution, facility, laboratory or funding body - a national laboratory, a university, a light source, an agency that funded the work.

This is the structured home for organizational identity that the schema otherwise carries as unvalidated free text in three places: the annotations on FacilityEnum permissible values (parent_organization, parent_ror, location, country, doe_office, website, wikidata_id), Instrument's facility_name / facility_ror pair, and Person's affiliation / affiliation_ror pair. FacilityEnum remains the controlled vocabulary that says which facility something is; Organization is the record that says what that facility is, where, and who runs it - and lets a parent institution be stated once rather than restated by every entity that refers to it.

  • As with Person, nothing beyond the inherited id is required: a ROR alone identifies an organization completely, and a source that gives only a name is common.
