CRediT is the Contributor Role Taxonomy maintained as a community-owned ANSI/NISO standard for describing how individuals contribute to research and scholarly outputs. Its fourteen roles provide a structured alternative to leaving contribution information implicit in authorship order alone.
This page uses the CRediT resource hub as the owned entry point for the taxonomy itself. The OBO-DB-Ingest products remain listed as downstream propagated products that re-express the vocabulary for integration workflows.
