Organizational relationships #138

Closed justgo129 closed 9 years ago

justgo129 commented 9 years ago

Hi everyone, Currently we don't have a structured way through which to associate one organization to another. For instance, let's take a look at: https://data.globalchange.gov/organization/university-wisconsin-milwaukee.thtml

We would like to affirm that the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a branch of the University of Wisconsin System. In this example, we have captured the "University of Wisconsin (system)" component, but not the "branch of."

The "branch of" association can be found at: https://data.globalchange.gov/organization/university-wisconsin-milwaukee.thtml

Would this require the addition of terms such as "branch of," "office of," "affiliated with," etc. in our ontology or is there a way around this? I am thinking of the use case of someone wanting to see all of the contributions of the University of Wisconsin system to the NCA3. This would include:

Would we need to add the "branch of," "department of" terms to our ontology in order to facilitate the writing of this SPARQL query?

@justgo129 - issue #137 and this issue appear to be the same.
