We’ve got a proposal for a small, non-breaking change to the ROR schema open for your perusal and comment through November 11th. We’re proposing to add name and code elements for both country subdivisions (e.g., the Aichi prefecture in Japan, the Saskatchewan province in Canada, and the state of Minnesota in the US) and continents (e.g., Africa, South America, Asia) to version 2 of the ROR schema. We’ve received several requests from ROR users for these fields to be added, and we think this is both simple enough and important enough to prioritize.
To read more and to give feedback, please visit the proposal document at https://bit.ly/ror-schema-2-1-proposal and suggest changes to the text or add comments in the margin by November 11, 2024. We’ll give a summary of the responses and discuss implementation at the ROR Community Call on November 20th.
Do please take a quick look just to make sure we haven’t missed anything! We’re always happy to listen to our users about what they need, and we rely on your expertise. Thank you!
