2014 Meetings

Cecilia gets data from papers (affiliation) and direct person submission.
Some people are affiliated to several departments or several institutions
Do we want to capture and distinguish all affiliations?
Should the info be collected and pipe separated inside the Institution tag?
This potentially adds a great deal of work to collect, fix, and maintain this info
Do we want to create an ?Institution class? Do we want an ?Affiliation class?
We want to standardize country name and institution name (use United Nations for reference of country names http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49alpha.htm )
Institution and department can be listed in the same line like

?Person
 Institution ?Text Department ?Text

 Institution ?Text

- We'd tokenize the text with pipes or semicolons, separating the Institution name; Insitution city / state / country; Department
- Or we'll put the Departments in the Street_address tag instead of the Institution tag, making the Insitution tag a controlled vocabulary
Standardized county and state names?

Constructs previously only with a text description are getting updated to fit the data model
Relevant genes and reporters are being moved to the appropriate tags in (where possible) controlled vocabulary
