Re: Modeling the author's position from research papers into RDF graph

It may be worth looking at the way the bibliontology http://bibliontology.com/specification (a.k.a. Bibo) does this.

It uses a sequenced list of author/contributor URIs to give order to authors/contributors, separately to statements asserting authorship.

The first example on this page shows how it works http://bibliontology.com/content/article
