Question: defining Person contributions to a dataset

[stevewds]

Hi -

What is the best way to express: "Person A contributed data collection to Dataset A"?

I know how to create a person object and a dataset object and a contribution object that says "Person A contributed data collection". But if there are several datasets, and Person A made different contributions to different datasets, I don't know how to properly express that situation in openMINDs.

Thanks! Steve

@stevewds you can achieve this by creating one Contribution per Person (with multiple roles if needed) per DatasetVersion. Example (simplified):

DatasetVersion-A

• otherContribution: links to Contribution-A-1

Contribution-A-1

• contributor: links to Person-1
• type: links to [coordination, data collection]

DatasetVersion-B

• otherContribution: links to Contribution-B-1

Contribution-B-1

• contributor: links to Person-1 (same object as above)
• type: links to [data management, data processing, marketing]

Thanks @lzehl, this answers it.
