README

A researcher's site for omnibase: their publications read from the services that know them, through omnisense/omnischolar (OpenAlex, HAL, Crossref, ORCID, Open Library, arXiv, INSPIRE), validated before they show, with what the site adds to each - hidden, pinned, in the selection, a PDF, a link to buy it or to the publisher, a cover, a note, themes - surviving every sync; the CV (positions, degrees, distinctions, grants, courses, supervisions); research themes and projects; the pages and their schema.org JSON-LD.

The bundle holds no talk and no service: a scholar's talks are omnibase/agenda Events (agenda.jsonld_type: EducationEvent), their services omnibase/consulting Offerings.

composer require omnibase/scholar omnisense/omnischolar omnischolar/openalex omnischolar/hal omnischolar/crossref

Stable releases follow semantic versioning: this installs the latest 1.x, with omnisense/omnibase 5.1 or later on Symfony (omnibridge/symfony) and Doctrine ORM (DoctrineBundle), omnibase/admin for the back office. No minimum-stability setting is needed.

Under Symfony, register the bundles and the pages, then create the tables:

// config/bundles.php
Omnischolar\Bridge\Symfony\OmnischolarBundle::class => ['all' => true],
Base\Scholar\ScholarBundle::class => ['all' => true],

# config/routes.yaml
scholar_controller:
    resource: "@ScholarBundle/src/Controller/Client"
    type: attribute
    prefix: /

bin/console make:migration && bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

First use: create the scholar in the back office (Identity and sources: a name, an ORCID, an OpenAlex author id), run bin/console scholar:sync, validate the works it found, and open /publications. The public sources need no key; docs/installation.md has the rest.

Entity\Scholar	the person: name, title, affiliation, ORCID, the profiles works are read from (openalex: A5000000001, hal: Josiah Carberry), sameAs, portrait, biography
Entity\Publication	a Work of omnischolar kept whole (JSON) + columns to sort by + the site's overrides; pending, published or rejected
Entity\Cv\*	Position, Degree, Award, Grant, Course, Supervision
Entity\Theme	a research theme or a project, a page each
scholar:sync	every scholar's works, counts and CV read again (the cron container, weekly)
widget scholar_pending	"New publications to validate", with Validate / Reject

Pages: /publications (filters; BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON of what is listed), /publications/{id}-{slug}, /books, /cv, /teaching, /research, /research/{slug}.

Tests

vendor/bin/phpunit (or, inside a host application, php vendor/bin/phpunit -c vendor/omnibase/scholar/phpunit.xml.dist): the Work's storage and its keys, the sync laid over what the site has (a new work waits, a known one follows its sources and keeps the site's overrides, a rejected one stays rejected, one typed by hand is the site's), the reference line, the exports, the JSON-LD. Inside a host, also who writes in the back office (tests/Controller/Admin/OpenToAdminsTest: an administrator does, a plain user does not).
