Crossref Funder Registry - Mapping to top-level funding organizations

<p>The <a href="https://www.crossref.org/services/funder-registry/">Crossref Funder Registry</a>&nbsp;is an open registry of names and identifiers of research funding organizations. The registry has a hierarchical structure. Each organization may have relations with parent and child organizations.<br> <br> We provide a mapping of organizations in the Crossref Funder Registry to the corresponding top-level organizations. The mapping is based on version 1.34 of the Crossref Funder Registry, made available in an RDF file in the <a href="https://gitlab.com/crossref/open_funder_registry/">Crossref Funder Registry GitLab repository</a>.<br> <br> To create the mapping to top-level organizations, we first extracted the hierarchical structure of the Crossref Funder Registry based on all &lsquo;narrower&rsquo; and &lsquo;broader&rsquo; assignments. Using this hierarchical structure, we then identified for each of the 27,681 active organizations in the registry the corresponding top-level organizations. For most organizations, we identified a single top-level organization. However, organizations may have multiple parent organizations, and for some organizations we therefore identified multiple top-level organizations.<br> &nbsp;<br> Example: &lsquo;H2020 Societal Challenges&rsquo; has &lsquo;Horizon 2020 Framework Programme&rsquo; as its only parent organization, &lsquo;Horizon 2020 Framework Programme&rsquo; has &lsquo;European Commission&rsquo; as its only parent organization, and &lsquo;European Commission&rsquo; does not have a parent organization. The top-level organization corresponding to &lsquo;H2020 Societal Challenges&rsquo; therefore is &lsquo;European Commission&rsquo;.<br> <br> We ignored the following parent-child relations in order to avoid having cycles in the network of parent-child relations:</p> <ul> <li>Child organization: Ministry of Science and Technology of the People&#39;s Republic of China (CHN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100002855]<br> Parent organization: National Science and Technology Major Project (CHN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100018537]</li> <li>Child organization: University of Georgia (USA) [DOI: 10.13039/100007699]<br> Parent organization: College of William and Mary (USA) [DOI: 10.13039/100008277]</li> </ul> <p>We ignored the following parent-child relations because they seem to be mistakes:</p> <ul> <li>Child organization: College of William and Mary (USA) [DOI: 10.13039/100008277]<br> Parent organization: University of Georgia (USA) [DOI: 10.13039/100007699]</li> <li>Child organization: Fakulti Pertanian, Universiti Putra Malaysia (MYS) [DOI: 10.13039/501100006018]<br> Parent organization: Department of Child Health, University of Manchester (GBR) [DOI: 10.13039/100007546]</li> <li>Child organization: Pusat Penyelidikan dan Inovasi, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (MYS) [DOI: 10.13039/501100006243]<br> Parent organization: Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission (CAN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100000183]</li> <li>Child organization: Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission (CAN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100000183]<br> Parent organization: Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (IRN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100005851]</li> </ul>
