@mbjones your metadata is similar to what we do in DataCite, see for example http://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.0/example/datacite-example-fundingReference-v.4.0.xml: ``` European Commission http://doi.org/10.13039/501100000780 282625 MOTivational strength of ecosystem services and alternative ways to express...

DataCite is also based on Fundref, with two minor differences. One of them to not nest awards under funder, but have separate entries (see my example). I think we can...

And I agree that `amount` is a bit too much info for me. Another place to compare would be ORCID metadata. schema.org folks are aware that their support for funding...

@cboettig I propose that we use `Award` instead of `Grant`, as it is more generic (FundRef came to the same conclusion, see Nobel Prize below as example). And to make...

In summary: * define new intangible `Award` * allow property `award` to be of type `text` or `Award` This does not break existing uses of `award`, does what we want,...

Relevant issue from schemaorg repo, from @hubgit and others: * https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/383 The discussion there seems to steer towards `Grant`, but I still prefer `Award`. Also highly relevant: http://ns.science.ai/#FundingSource

Maybe we can try to wrap up this discussion, as I think we are close enough to a consensus. Let me try to summarize the issues: ### Use existing property...

Thanks @smrgeoinfo. I agree that we don't need `CreativeWork` as domain for `funding`, if we have an intangible `Grant`. We have to support situations where we have grant information, but...

This is a very good discussion and should be referenced from the schema_org GitHub repo, so that the broader schema_org community can participate. Thank you @smrgeoinfo for linking from https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/383.

Yes, I plan to implement this for mapping DataCite XML to schema.org as soon as I find time. I haven't thought about the implications for codemeta, but I would assume...
