CRediT recommendation

[meden-cup]

I am currently looking at the CRediT recommendation. I have a couple of problems that I’m not sure if you can help with. I have read the discussion notes and I know there was talk about Casrai’s URLs and special characters. Having just tried, none of the URLs for contributor roles resolve to anything useful on their site (Not something for you but interesting nonetheless). In the published recommendations however there is a little confusion regarding the 2 roles that have special characters
In what I think is the JATS 1.1 sample, but labelled as 1.2 there is:
<role content-type="https://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles/Conceptualization" >Conceptualization</role>
<role content-type="https://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles/Data_curation">Data curation</role>
<role content-type="https://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles/Formal_analysis">Formal analysis</role>
<role content-type="https://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles/Investigation">Investigation</role>
<role content-type=" **https://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles/Writing_original_draft**">Writing – original draft</role> </contrib>

<contrib> <contrib-id authenticated="true" contrib-id-type="orcid">https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2354-0408</contrib-id> <name> <surname>Delon</surname> <given-names>Wright</given-names> </name> <role content-type="https://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles/Data_curation">Data curation</role> <role content-type="**https://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles/Writing_%E2%80%93_review_%26_editing**">Writing – review &amp; editing</role> </contrib>

Where "Writing – original draft" has URL with [space][hyphen][space] and the second [space] replaced with [underscore] in both instances. In the "Writing – review & editing" the spaces have been replaced with underscore bit the hyphen and & have been retained escaped. Is this a mistake?

Did the group have an overall recommendation with regard to the URLs for these 2 awkward terms and their identifiers? While it seemed to be discussed it did not get mentioned in the recommendations.

It seems to me without resolution, it would be difficult to validate accurately, if these vocab-identifiers are not resolvable. Will Casrai update the URLs to match what J4R have recommended?

Also noticed that in example
<role vocab="credit" vocab-identifier="http://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles" vocab-term="Writing - Original Draft" vocab-term-identifier="https://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles/Writing_original_draft">Writing - Original Draft</role>

Where vocab-term = "Writing - Original Draft", but table of terms and urls has "Writing – original draft". Does case matter for machine readability?

Any advice gratefully received.
