Liz [joined the ROR team in late 2020](https://blog.datacite.org/working-at-the-intersection-of-people-and-technology/) as our first Adoption Manager and has developed extensive guidance to support ROR users and integrators, before [stepping into the role of ROR Technical Lead in February 2022](/blog/2022-02-14-new-year-at-ror/#changes-on-the-ror-team). Previously, Liz was based at ORCID for 6 years, where she held roles ranging from member support to technical lead. A librarian by training and a software developer by necessity, Liz thrives at the intersection of people, processes and technology. She loves understanding the human and technological aspects of systems and developing solutions that suit both the people and the machines.

### **Why doesn't ROR include university departments?**

ROR is focused on addressing the fundamental affiliation use case and increasing interoperability with other systems, and therefore it is not focused on capturing all subdivisions of a given organization, such as a university’s academic departments. The more granular the registry, the less suited it is to address the use case of tracking outputs at the institutional level. The "high-level" institutional information in ROR is also more stable than departmental information and is therefore better suited for persistence. ROR concentrates on maintaining inclusive global coverage of research organizations rather than on capturing the internal structure of organizations, and this approach keeps ROR easy to use. Additionally, some high-level sub-units of organizations are in scope for ROR, such as research institutes. Because ROR's code and data are entirely open, ROR users are free to build upon it in their local integrations to add their own department-level taxonomies.
ROR is focused on solving the problem of connecting research outputs to research organizations while remaining easy to use, and therefore it is not focused on capturing all subdivisions of a given organization such as a university’s schools or departments. ROR does support organizational hierarchy, and units such as research institutes and laboratories are in scope for ROR. The more granular the registry, however, the less suited it is to address the key use case of linking research outputs to research organizations and the more difficult it is to implement and maintain. University departments in particular often emerge, close, combine, and change: the "high-level" institutional information in ROR is more stable and is therefore better suited for persistence. ROR concentrates on maintaining broad, inclusive global coverage of research organizations rather than on capturing the internal structure of particular organizations. ROR might extend its scope in the future, but meanwhile, because ROR's code and data are entirely open, ROR users are free to build upon it in their local integrations to add their own school- and department-level taxonomies.

### Why CDL, Crossref, and DataCite are supporting ROR

ROR is also a key component of each of its operating organization's strategic objectives. ROR was identified by Crossref members as a top priority back in 2019, and ROR IDs play an important role in Crossref's vision of the [research nexus](https://www.crossref.org/documentation/research-nexus/) and its aims to make scholarly information easier to find, assess, and connect. For DataCite's [straegic focus](https://datacite.org/documents/DataCite_strategic_plan_2022_2025.pdf) on identifying and connecting knowledge, ROR IDs are key to establishing connections in DOI metadata to enable meaningful insights about how research is conducted and used. For CDL, investing in open metadata for affiliations aligns with a [multi-faceted approach](https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/2022/08/pathways-to-oa-open-infrastructure/) to make UC research - including the underlying metadata - more openly available. For example, identifying UC research to be made openly available requires accurate identification of UC-affiliated authors.
