institution_id should contain homepage/url (copied from CMIP6_CVs)

Making sure that the info in https://github.com/WCRP-CMIP/CMIP6_CVs/issues/379 is considered as we continue to augment CV formats and contents

Reference to (future) discussion for branch ror.

Checklist:

• [x] GeoSpatial coordinates
• [x] Homepage links
• [x] Supply link to ROR if missing website (links) field - and automate creation of an issue?
• [ ] Truncate Lat/Lng to 100m?
• [ ] Discuss what is needed in the data and if this a suitable representation.
• [ ] Populate missing entries from/on ROR.
• [ ] Submit a request to add CMIP acronyms/aliases for each institution.
• [ ] Create a self updating / ROR checker tool.

Prototyping format:

It would be nice to be able to determine from the json file directly (without an interface, but by reading):

1. The list of sources (list of acronyms), possibly grouped by MIP era, that the institution created (had primary responsibility for).
2. The list of additional sources, that the institution has an affiliation with.
3. The list of consortia that the institution contributes to.

For a consortium, it would be nice to see in the file:

1. The list of institutions (by acronym) in the consortium
2. The list of "lead" institutions for the consortium (or "NA" if the consortium has no lead)

Also, do we want to include an individual contact for each institution, when available, with email/phone/address etc.?

I support the ROR reference but I have to comments:

• I would use RORs (including the resolver) as a reference and not duplicate the information. I don't think we need that and it would create additional effort to synchronize with RoR. On a webpage, we can dynamically include that information from RoR.
• I like the idea to use the RoR to identify an entry because this does not change. And to use institutions as entries, specifying the consortia it belongs to.
• Our institutions are partly consortia without a RoR, as Karl has pointed out. But the members of a consortium might have a RoR. Furthermore, our acronyms are those used in the DRS.

Let me put all these comments in a suggestion for an alternative (minimal) institution_id structure:

{
  "05m7pjf47": {
    "acronym": "UCD",
    "name": "University College Dublin",
    "url": "http://www.ucd.ie/",
    "ror": "https://ror.org/05m7pjf47",
    "consortia": [
      {
        "drs": "UCD",
        "task": "lead"
      }
    ]
  },
  "03qn8fb07": {
    "acronym": "CSIRO",
    "name": "Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation",
    "url": "http://www.csiro.au/",
    "ror": "https://ror.org/03qn8fb07",
    "consortia": [
      {
        "drs": "CSIRO",
        "task": "lead"
      },
      {
        "drs": "CSIRO-ARCCSS",
        "task": ""
      },
      {
        "drs": "CSIRO-COSIMA",
        "task": ""
      }
    ]
  },
  "0288wcg94": {
    "acronym": "ARCCSS",
    "name": "Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science",
    "url": "https://www.climatescience.org.au/",
    "ror": "https://ror.org/0288wcg94",
    "consortia": [
      {
        "drs": "CSIRO-ARCCSS",
        "task": ""
      }
    ]
  }
}

'Closing' this issue as the institutions are now defined in MIP Tables: https://github.com/PCMDI/mip-cmor-tables/blob/main/MIP_institutions.json

These are course subject to change, and the discussion should be moved there. All feedback is still welcome!
