Jeff Vintar = Screenwriter
Akiva Goldsman = Screenwriter
Jeff Vintar = Original Material By
Isaac Asimov = Original Material By

Martin is correct, the Writer credit is for original screenplays only.

Story or screen story get's an "Original Material By" credit.

Agree with Martin as well.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Agree with Martin, the only time we use Writer is for a Written by or Writer credit.

*nods*

One could argue that so little remains of the book Asimov's credit could be "Characters" though.

Maybe just "Original Names".

The Susan Calvin "character" Asimov described was nothing like Bridget Moynahan...not that i'm complaining mind you. 
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

I'll bite. I think Asimov's credit is so vague and removed from "original material" that he shouldn't be credited in Profiler at all.
