Funding number

[bschweighofer]

Also regarding DFG monitoring: is there a way to enter the funding number in the openCost scheme? Note: Crossref, for example, is not complete in terms of funding numbers and therefore not a reliable source to get this information fully automated. So it would be good if there was a possibility to add it by hand.

So it would be good if there was a possibility to add it by hand.

As for funding information my gut feeling is that for quite some time it will be necessary to provide them as no external source holds sufficient information yet.

The main question that we need to tackle at openCost will be how we hook up with funder information. One could envision something like

<opencost>
   <funding>
       <grant> <!-- ... --> </grant>
       <grant> <!-- ... --> </grant>
       <grant> <!-- ... --> </grant>
   </funding>
   <!-- ... -->
   <amounts_paid>
        <!-- ... -->
   </amounts_paid>
</opencost>

IOW the funding expressed within openCost, or go for something more modular like

<record>
   <funding>
       <grant> <!-- ... --> </grant>
       <grant> <!-- ... --> </grant>
       <grant> <!-- ... --> </grant>
   </funding>

   <!-- ... -->

   <opencost>
       <amounts_paid>
            <!-- ... -->
       </amounts_paid>
   </opencost>
</record>

IOW openCost embedding in some larger schema.
