Type of an organization in the Research Organization Registry, from a fixed list of nine values - education, funder, healthcare, company, archive, nonprofit, government, facility and other. A record can have several types, for example education and funder for a university that funds research. Schema v2 of the ROR data writes the values in lowercase; schema v1 capitalized them (Education, Funder).
