Complete a Ringgold Hierarchy
Ringgold Hierarchies are key to understanding complex relationships
The Identify Database is organized hierarchically and based on the ownership structure of an organization. Related organizations are linked together, such as universities and their departments, or corporate entities with subsidiary firms or divisions. Each individual entity’s record is, where appropriate, mapped to the organization’s larger structural hierarchy; a ‘family tree’.

- Academic departments (faculties, schools, departments etc)
- Research centres and research groups
- Libraries
- Campuses, other than the main campus
- Internal admin and service units: e.g. Department of Finance and Accounts, Office of the Vice-Chancellor, Department of HR and Equality, Office for Alumni Relations, IT Services. (The exception are university offices managing the research output of a university. We create records for these because they often fund research and author publication fees, so are of increasing interest to publishers).
- Courses and programs (unless they are like a department)
- Temporary research programs
