data2health/credit-ontology

An OWL implementation of CRediT; a high-level classification of the diverse roles performed in the work leading to a published research output in the sciences. Its purpose to provide transparency in contributions to scholarly published work, to enable improved systems of attribution, credit, and accountability.

credit-ontology's Issues

Include CASRAI IDs in class annotations

From @marijane on December 9, 2016 8:47

Each of the CRediT Taxonomy roles has a unique ID in the CASRAI Dictionary. We should include this ID in the annotations on the role classes, but it's not clear if there is an existing OBO annotation property that should be used for this. The alternate term property does not seem quite right to me.

Punctuation in labels of writing terms?

From @marijane on December 9, 2016 8:54

CASRAI has styled these roles as follows:

• Contributor Roles/Writing – original draft
• Contributor Roles/Writing – review & editing

I removed the punctuation from these terms, but I'm wondering if I should have left them in? I couldn't find anything in the OBO Tutorial or naming conventions that recommends anything about punctuation.

compatibility with credit taxonomy

some of the terms were modified from the credit taxonomy, see #3.

For compatibility issue, I would "revert" the #name tag to the credit taxonomy term, as present on http://credit.niso.org/implementing-credit/

I do not know how to deal with capitalisation of the terms, though. It is indeed not a big deal to build compatible workflow when only the capitalisation is different.

I have indeed problems to find a way to tell my code that
Writing – review & editing == writing review and editing role

while I have not problem with
project administration role== Project administration:

grepl (Project administration,project administration role, , ignore.case = TRUE)

CRO_00000000 has one more digit in its ID than the rest of the classes

From @marijane on December 13, 2016 6:23

It was generated by the ontology-starter-kit, and I failed to notice until after I'd added the CRediT roles. I think most of the OBO ontologies I've looked at use 7 digits.

Should we bump all the identifiers up to 8 digits or knock this one down to 7?

Fix PURL

https://w3id.org/credit/ontology doesn't work as an direct import in Protege. OBO Purls tend to end in .owl, so it looks like I need to add a redirect.

Model "degree of contribution" as described in the FAQ?

From @marijane on December 9, 2016 9:3

Per the CRediT FAQ:
"When there are multiple people serving in the same role a ‘degree of contribution’ should be further specified as either ‘lead’, ‘equal’, or ‘supporting’. "

Should we include this concept in the ontology? How might we model it?

ODK inserts an obolibrary version IRI

We need this to use a purl.org URI
Also need to figure out how to make it work correctly. I attempted to implement purl.org/credit/releases but it doesn't work the way obolibrary purls appear to work.

Picking a persistent URL for this ontology

As I'm reading up on how to set up a w3id, I realized that there are a couple options to consider for the persistent URL for this ontology. Here is what I'm considering...

Use the same slug as the GitHub repo: https://w3id.org/credit-ontology
Use a nested/patterned URL strategy: https://w3id.org/credit/ontology

I find the second appealing because it feels more elegant. It would allow setting up multiple redirects, for example we could point https://w3id.org/credit/taxonomy at the casrai dictionary entry for the taxonomy, if that's something we would want to do.

Update Zenodo Badge

Zenodo has access to our repository, I think all it needs is for us to do another release.

ORCiDs for term editor values?

From @marijane on December 9, 2016 8:51

I entered my name as a string in the term editor annotations, but I'm wondering whether it's appropriate to use an ORCiD as the value for this property.

License?

We should probably add a license to this repository, not sure which one. Note that CRediT is licensed under CC BY 4.0.

Should CASRAI be included in annotations as a term editor?

From @marijane on December 9, 2016 8:49

They authored the terms, it feels appropriate to give them some kind of editor credit beyond the existing definition source annotations that point to entries in the CASRAI dictionary.

Fix ontology URI

The ODK assumes use of an obolibrary purl, this needs to be changed to our w3id. May also require update to our w3id .htaccess to add redirect to import files. I asked the INCATools folks for input: INCATools/ontology-development-kit#116
