Translating from ROR to the Organization Ontology
=======================================================

|ROR|_ provides data on over 95,000 research organizations in the world.  ROR data
is available CC0, curated, and via an open API.

Translating Types
-----------------

The ROR Organization types are listed in `Table 18`_  ROR types are high-level and can
be multi-valued, much as Organization Ontology dispositions are multi-valued.

Organizations without research disposition are out of scope for ROR.  All organizations in
ROR can be asserted to have research disposition.

`Table 18`_ provides a guide for translating ROR organizational types to assertions
in the VIVO Organization Ontology.
