The list of organization types in VIVO could be extended with :AdministrativeUnit as a sub-class of foaf:Organization. There are already a couple of universities like http://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n78eb517b or https://vivo.ufl.edu/organizations#http://vivo.ufl.edu/ontology/vivo-ufl/AdministrativeUnit%20 which have this class in their local ontology and use it. We also have a similar class in our local ontology. Since there is a need for this class at several institutions, it would be good to have this class in VIVO Core.

This is also issue openrif/vivo-isf-ontology#756

AdministrativeUnit defined in vivo.owl.  Application annotations added to vitroAssertions.n3.

See #101

#101 Pull request where :AdministrativeUnit was added is still open, but the community and committers didn’t think that adding this subclass is a good idea. Entire discussion can be read on the PR page. It seems like the addition (or omission) of this subclass will be left to the individual organizations which use VIVO.
