Crossref Funder Registry - Mapping to top-level funding organizations (Q6685965)

The Crossref Funder Registryis 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. 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 Crossref Funder Registry GitLab repository. To create the mapping to top-level organizations, we first extracted the hierarchical structure of the Crossref Funder Registry based on all narrower and broader 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. Example: H2020 Societal Challenges has Horizon 2020 Framework Programme as its only parent organization, Horizon 2020 Framework Programme has European Commission as its only parent organization, and European Commission does not have a parent organization. The top-level organization corresponding to H2020 Societal Challenges therefore is European Commission. We ignored the following parent-child relations in order to avoid having cycles in the network of parent-child relations: Child organization: Ministry of Science and Technology of the Peoples Republic of China (CHN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100002855] Parent organization: National Science and Technology Major Project (CHN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100018537] Child organization: University of Georgia (USA) [DOI: 10.13039/100007699] Parent organization: College of William and Mary (USA) [DOI: 10.13039/100008277] We ignored the following parent-child relations because they seem to be mistakes: Child organization: College of William and Mary (USA) [DOI: 10.13039/100008277] Parent organization: University of Georgia (USA) [DOI: 10.13039/100007699] Child organization: Fakulti Pertanian, Universiti Putra Malaysia (MYS) [DOI: 10.13039/501100006018] Parent organization: Department of Child Health, University of Manchester (GBR) [DOI: 10.13039/100007546] Child organization: Pusat Penyelidikan dan Inovasi, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (MYS) [DOI: 10.13039/501100006243] Parent organization: Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission (CAN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100000183] Child organization: Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission (CAN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100000183] Parent organization: Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (IRN) [DOI: 10.13039/501100005851]
