[SCHEMA] Add Geonames Admin1 fields to location object for improved organization disambiguation #246

Open adambuttrick opened 4 months ago

Version v2

Describe the problem you would like to solve The Defense Technical Information Center - https://ror.org/01zqyhk59 has requested we add data from the Geonames admin1 name and admin1 code fields into the location object to support discovery and disambiguation of research organizations within specific administrative regions of countries.

Describe the schema change that you would like in order to solve the problem Add two fields to the location object in the ROR schema. Using "admin1" as a placeholder value:

  1. admin1_name: String representing the name of the first-level administrative division.
  2. admin1_code: String representing the GeoNames code for the first-level administrative division.

Additional information What is present in this value varies at the national-level. For example, in the US context, this would equate to state names, where as in Japan, this would be the prefecture.
