Two entity gaps closed, both because the underlying profiles now exist.

1. Organization sameAs

The LinkedIn company page lists forensic technical witness services among Root System's, so organization.sameAs gets its first entry:

sameAs: ['https://www.linkedin.com/company/root-system-com/']

It rides the Organization node in the per-page @graph, so all eight routes carry it by @id rather than as eight separate entities.

The name mismatch, stated rather than buried. The node is named Root System Forensics; the page is Root System's. They are treated as one entity because they are one — the forensics practice is a service line, not a separate company. The field's own rule is that a sameAs pointing at a different entity is worse than none, so the comment records that the rule was applied rather than skipped. If the practice is ever incorporated separately, the entry moves to its own page and the relationship becomes parentOrganization.

2. The second publication

The profile listed one paper because one was what the older written bio recorded. The ORCID record lists two, both IEEE/SEMI ASMC 2000:

Paper DOI
Evaluation of the 'HiVol' above-wafer in-situ particle monitoring sensor 10.1109/asmc.2000.902605
Evaluation of the yield impact of epitaxial defects on advanced semiconductor technologies 10.1109/asmc.2000.902550

Read off the public ORCID API, not transcribed from memory.

This is a schema change as well as a copy one. Publications feed subjectOf on the Person node, so the markup now claims two ScholarlyArticles, and the ORCID URL already in sameAs corroborates both — where a week ago it resolved to a record with no works on it.

Needs Rob's eye before merge

The co-author line reads "Co-authored with R. Williams, M. Akbulut and Wayne Chen." ORCID's contributor list gives those three and then repeats Rob's own name five times, which is plainly an import artifact. The names are probably right; the list is not provably complete. On an expert-witness credentials page that distinction is worth one look.

Why now

The post-#76 GEO audit put Brand & Entity at 4.25/10 — the worst category on the property and the one holding Schema back. The markup shipped in #76; the entities it pointed at did not exist yet. These are the first two.

Still open under #80: a Google Business Profile and a Crunchbase record.

Verification

yarn build clean. Confirmed in the built output: Organization.sameAs present on /, /method/, /experts/; both ScholarlyArticle nodes in the Person graph on /experts/robert-jacques/; both papers rendering in the visible Publications list.

Follow-up worth considering, not done here

ScholarlyArticle currently emits name and publisher only. Both papers have DOIs, and a DOI is the strongest identifier a citation can carry. Adding one to the publication shape would push Academic Trust further — it is a schema field addition, so it belongs in its own change.

The LinkedIn company page exists and now lists forensic technical witness
services among Root System's, which makes it the first URL that meets the bar
this field was holding out for: a page that exists, that the practice controls,
and that is demonstrably the same entity.

The names do not match -- the Organization node is 'Root System Forensics' and
the page is Root System's -- so the comment states the assumption rather than
leaving a reader to infer it. The practice is a service line, not a separate
company. If that ever changes, the entry moves to its own page and the
relationship becomes parentOrganization.

A Google Business Profile and a Crunchbase record are still missing; issue #80
tracks them, and each is its own entry when it exists.

The profile listed one publication because one was what the older written bio
recorded. The ORCID record now lists two, both from IEEE/SEMI ASMC 2000, and
this adds the missing one:

  Evaluation of the yield impact of epitaxial defects on advanced
  semiconductor technologies -- doi 10.1109/asmc.2000.902550

Read from the public ORCID API rather than transcribed from memory, which is
the same reason the profile was written from the LinkedIn export in the first
place.

Publications feed `subjectOf` on the Person node, so this is a schema change as
well as a copy one: the markup now claims two ScholarlyArticles and the ORCID
record in `sameAs` corroborates both, where before it resolved to a record with
no works on it at all.

The co-author line needs Rob's eye. ORCID's contributor list for the paper reads
R. Williams, M. Akbulut, Wayne Chen -- followed by his own name five times,
plainly an import artifact -- so the names are probably right and the list is
not provably complete.

@robbyrob42 robbyrob42 changed the title The Organization sameAs has its first real profile Real entity signals: the LinkedIn company page, and the second ASMC paper Sep 5, 2026
Rob confirmed the contributor lists off the ORCID record, which settles the
open question on the previous commit and adds one the profile did not have:
HiVol is R. Williams, E. Wickesberg, M. Bonin and D. Holve.

That left the two entries in different framings -- one naming institutions, the
other naming people -- which reads as carelessness on a page whose whole job is
withstanding a credentials check. Both now name co-authors. HiVol keeps its
institutions as well, because SEMATECH and Sandia carry weight the co-author
list does not replace.
