We have an exciting update for you today: the
launch of ROR schema 2.1! This is a non-breaking change that adds additional location information to ROR records in v2 of the API and in v2 files in the data dump, namely names and codes for
continents and for
country subdivisions such as US states, Canadian provinces, and Japanese prefectures.
Read the latest
changelog entry for more details, find out how to
filter ROR records by continent code or continent name, and feel free to reply to this message or write
sup...@ror.org with any questions.
As part of the launch of v2, we've updated every record in the ROR registry in
release 1.58 to add country subdivision and continent information. Oh, and by the way, last week, prior to the launch of schema v2.1, the ROR team also previously added 416 records and updated 308 records as part of
release 1.57, bringing the total number of active, inactive, and withdrawn records in ROR to 111,808.
These will be the final releases of 2024, but naturally we'll be doing many more updates to ROR in 2025. See you in the new year!
Cheers,
Amanda French
