  2. People are associated with research areas represented by skos:Concept entities.  See Concept Model.
  3. Positions are relationships between a person and an organization.  See Organization Model for detail regarding representation of organizations.  The position may have an associated dateTimeInterval.  See DateTimeValue and DateTimeInterval Models for details regarding the representation of these entities.
  4. The ORCiD of a person is represented as an entity.  The URI of the entity is the ORCiD of the person.  See Managing Person Identifiers for additional details.
