# DataCite Normalized Affiliation Distribution

## Summary
`normalized_distribution.json` contains one JSON object per normalized affiliation string. It aggregates the total
occurrence count, a ranked list of the raw affiliation strings that collapse into the normalized form, and the
provider/client entities that asserted them. This dataset is derived from the August 2025 DataCite creator/contributor export.

## Structure

```json
{
  "normalized": "example university",
  "total_count": 314,
  "affiliations": [
    {"affiliation": "Example University", "occurrences": 300},
    {"affiliation": "Example Univ.", "occurrences": 14}
  ],
  "providers": {"unique_total": 5, "counts": {"tib.example": 200, "cdr.sample": 114}},
  "clients": {"unique_total": 4, "counts": {"example.client": 314}}
}
```

### Fields

- `normalized` *(string)*: normalized ASCII/whitespace-stripped token.
- `total_count` *(int)*: total occurrences across the snapshot.
- `affiliations` *(array)*: ranked list of raw affiliation strings and their counts.
- `providers` / `clients` *(object)*: `unique_total` plus per-ID counts.
