How to edit people names or titles?

Editing Personal Information in the JSON File

All personal information is located in a JSON file within the repository:

people.json

You can follow the same editing process described in the How to edit MDX files wiki page, as the process is similar and applicable here as well.

Understanding the JSON Structure

The JSON file contains two top-level properties: groups and orgs.

  • Groups: These are categories for ELIXIR groups. You typically do not need to edit this section unless you want to add a new group and associate people with it.

  • Orgs: This is the section you should edit. Each organization is typically abbreviated, such as uib for the University of Bergen and uio for the University of Oslo. Each organization has a name and an array of people.

When editing, ensure that you modify the name, title, and other relevant fields while keeping the edits within the string quotations. Here’s a sample of the JSON structure:

{
  "groups": [
    {
      "name": "node-leaders",
      "description": "Node Leaders of ELIXIR Norway"
    },
    {
      "name": "coordinators",
      "description": "Coordinators of ELIXIR Norway"
    },
    {
      "name": "steering-board",
      "description": "Steering Board of ELIXIR Norway"
    },
    {
      "name": "scientific-advisory-committee",
      "description": "Scientific Adv. Comm. of ELIXIR Norway"
    },
    {
      "name": "stakeholder-panel",
      "description": "Stakeholder Panel of ELIXIR Norway"
    }
  ],
  "orgs": {
    "uib": {
      "name": "University of Bergen",
      "people": [
        {
          "name": "",
          "title": "",
          "photo": "",
          "profile-url": "",
          "affiliations": [],
          "elixir-groups": [
            {
              "name": "node-leaders",
              "role": "Head of Elixir Norway & Head of Node"
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
