| note | cOAlition S welcomed the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information but did not itself sign it (individual funder-members did); its member funding agencies (Wellcome, UKRI, ANR, NWO, etc.) are not modelled as separate entities in this corpus, so no schema-legal relation target currently exists. |
