import funder identifiers and metadata #38

Open mbjones opened 3 years ago

The dataone graph will hopefully have many references to funders through metadata documents that link to global funder identifers from the CrossRef Funder registry, and from the ROR system. Both are made available as data dumps:

I think it would be helpful to: 1) Load both of these graphs 2) Where possible, provide sameAs links across the graphs 3) Use the graph to be able to provide contextual relationships for querying (e.g., summarize all datasets from NSF, or from GEO programs in NSF)

While the ROR graph isn't in RDF, its highly structured and provides very nicely structured cross-references to other identifier types like WikiData IDs, ISNI, etc.

Being able to report based on funders has long been a goal of ours, and getting all of this accessible in a queryable form would be really helpful.

Also, note that those data dumps are updated periodically, so we can both reimport periodically, and they each have a REST API as well.
