[open-bibliography] Enabling Attribution of Author Credit and Scholarly Contributions

[Karen Coyle]

David, I just gave ScoRO a quick look, but I wonder if you've mocked up 
data to test it out? The main thing that struck me is that it is a mix 
of "having" and "being", which I'm thinking might be awkward. As an 
example, there is "has authorship role" and "controlled project 
finances". In the library data I've been working on we've been trying to 
get away from the "has role" and moving it to "is".

Melville --> is author --> Moby Dick

rather than

Melville --> has author role in relation to --> Moby Dick

However, I may be mis-interpreting your intention, which is why I ask 
about mockups of data, which are easier to understand usually than 
reading through an ontology.

One other thing: have you run this past folks in the humanities? I'm 
thinking fine arts, music. I always find that they have an entirely 
different view of things from STM.

If I get a chance, I'll look through the other ontologies as well. I 
think your SPAR is a very interesting project!
