Computational Definition

An action taken by an agent in contributing to the creation, modification, assessment, or deprecation of a particular entity (e.g. a Statement, DataSet, Publication, etc.)

Information Model

Some Contribution attributes are inherited from Entity.

Field	Flags	Type	Limits	Description
id		string	0..1	The ‘logical’ identifier of the Entity in the system of record, e.g. a UUID. This ‘id’ is unique within a given system, but may or may not be globally unique outside the system. It is used within a system to reference an object from another.
type		string	1..1	MUST be “Contribution”.
name		string	0..1	A primary name for the entity.
description		string	0..1	A free-text description of the Entity.
aliases	⋮	string	0..m	Alternative name(s) for the Entity.
extensions	⋮	Extension	0..m	A list of extensions to the Entity, that allow for capture of information not directly supported by elements defined in the model.
contributor		Agent | iriReference	0..1	The agent that made the contribution.
activityType		string	0..1	The specific type of activity performed or role played by an agent in making the contribution (e.g. for a publication, agents may contribute as a primary author, editor, figure designer, data generator, etc.). Values of this property may be framed as activities, or as contribution roles (e.g. using terms from the Contribution Role Ontology (CRO)).
date		datetime	0..1	When the contributing activity was completed.
