The role held by an agent of providing funds, for example for a research project. A funding agent is represented as an instance of `foaf:Agent`, related to the resource through the pattern defined in the Publishing Roles Ontology (PRO). According to said pattern, a `foaf:Agent` holds some role (`pro:RoleInTime`) characterized by a type (`pro:withRole`) - which, in this case, is `scoro:funder` - and related to the resource via `pro:relatesToEntity`. :european-commission a foaf:Agent ; pro:holdsRoleInTime :european-commission-funding . :european-commission-funding a pro:RoleInTime ; pro:withRole scoro:funder ; pro:relatesToEntity :my-dataset . funder
