Organizational relationships

[justgo129]

Hi everyone,
Currently we don't have a structured way through which to associate one organization to another. For instance, let's take a look at:
https://data.globalchange.gov/organization/university-wisconsin-milwaukee.thtml

We would like to affirm that the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a branch of the University of Wisconsin System. In this example, we have captured the "University of Wisconsin (system)" component, but not the "branch of."

The "branch of" association can be found at:
https://data.globalchange.gov/organization/university-wisconsin-milwaukee.thtml

Would this require the addition of terms such as "branch of," "office of," "affiliated with," etc. in our ontology or is there a way around this? I am thinking of the use case of someone wanting to see all of the contributions of the University of Wisconsin system to the NCA3. This would include:

• all academic departments of the system's branches (e.g. https://data.globalchange.gov/organization/university-wisconsin-department-rural-sociology)
• campuses making up the system:
  https://data.globalchange.gov/organization/university-wisconsin-madison

Would we need to add the "branch of," "department of" terms to our ontology in order to facilitate the writing of this SPARQL query?

@justgo129 - issue #137 and this issue appear to be the same.
