About

In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of data across institutions, increase standardization, and ease as much of the burden of data entry on users as possible we have introduced a new concept of 'Commonly Used Resources'. This concept has been internally referenced as 'globals' and this is reflected in the choice of property names. These resources will reside in a central repository, maintained by the eagle-i team, that all . All institutions will have read-access to.  As We strongly encourage users to select from Commonly Used Resources when entering data in SWEET.

As of the 2.0-MS1.0 11 release, only resources that have a type of Organization are eligible for 'Commonly Used Resources' values.  Specifically, 'Commonly Used Resources' will be generated for the types: Private Company and Funding Organization.

This feature will affect the following applications:

• SWEET: When editing or adding a resource, if there are 'Commonly Used Resources' available for a given field, these will be presented to users at the top of the dropped down list under the heading 'Commonly Used Resources'. 

...

the following resource types are eligible to be Commonly Used Resources:

1. Private Company
2. Funding Organization
3. Government Agency

Application effect

SWEET - background effects

Once the SWEET application has been configured to use Commonly Used Resources, the application will periodically query the Commonly Used Resources data repository for a minimal set (label and URI) of information from the published data. SWEET will then place a local copy of this minimal set of information in its own data repository, in a specialized graph (NG_GlobalProxy). Subsequent uses of SWEET will present selections for the user from this specialized graph as well as the default and published graphs.

SWEET - entering data

In fields which have one of the above mentioned types as a range, users will now see a new group of listings at the top:

All other applications

From the perspective of the other eagle-i applications (search, dissemination pages), there is no visible effect. The triples containing the Commonly Used Resources will be resolved as the triple that it is.
