Institution tag in ?Person class
- 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
- Or if keeping as
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?

Updating Constructs
- 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
