Currently, the data extraction merges objects/nodes that refer to the same person and organization but may have slightly different values for the membership role property (e.g., 'Ph.D Student' vs 'PhD Student'). This results in multiple conflicting roles under the same membership triple due to node merging.
Task
- Update the tool logic so that merging nodes does not conflate different role values for the same membership instance.
- Ensure that, when merging, multiple roles are preserved in a single, consistent way. (Keep the one with most recent date)
- Add tests covering input with duplicate memberships differing only in case or format and check result for a clear, unambiguous role assignment.
Context/example:
See parent issue: Membership has multiple roles due to merging of nodes
Example:
{
"@id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5850-0663_https://ror.org/04gyf1771",
"@type": "org:Membership",
"org:organization": {
"@id": "https://ror.org/04gyf1771"
},
"org:role": "Ph.D Student",
...
},
{
"@id": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5850-0663_https://ror.org/04gyf1771",
"@type": "org:Membership",
"org:organization": {
"@id": "https://ror.org/04gyf1771"
},
"org:role": "PhD Student",
...
},
This should not result in ambiguous roles on a merged node.
