Welcome

This repository contains modeling artifacts and documentation related to the Contributor Attribution Model (CAM) Specification. Formal documentation is currently underdevelopment, and can be found at https://contributor-attribution-model.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Overview

The Contributor Attribution Model (CAM) Specification is a standard developed within the Center for Data to Health (CD2H) Architecting Attribution project. It provides a simple and tightly scoped specification for representing information about contributions made to research-related artifacts - for example when, why, and how a curator contributed to a gene annotation record. | It is intended to be used as a modular component of broader data models that support data collection and curation systems, to facilitate reliable and consistent exchange of computable contribution metadata.

The final CAM Specification will be comprised of the following components:

  1. A format-agnostic Information Model of the domain.
  2. A JSON-LD schema formalization of the Information Model. coming soon
  3. A TSV-based format and curation template, based on the Information Model. coming soon
  4. Ontologies and LD-Context Mappings to support creation of RDF linked data. coming soon
  5. A code library to support data creation and format interchange. coming soon
  6. An Implementation Guide to support creation of CAM-compliant data in different formats and contexts. coming soon

Status

At present only the foundational Informaton Model has been defined, along with the supporting Contribution Role Ontology (CRO). An initial draft of all components for a v0 release is in progress.
