VIVO and persistent identifiers:
Integrating ORCID
VIVO Conference
15 August 2013 Rebecca Bryant, PhD
Director of Community, ORCID
r.bryant@orcid.org
http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2753-3881

2.
The research community has
lacked the ability to link
researchers and scholars with their
professional activities.
2
What is the problem?
• Name ambiguity
• Discoverability within and across databases
• Author, grantee, and faculty record management
• Output tracking
• Research reporting and impact assessment

3.

What is ORCID?
ORCID provides a unique and persistent personal identifier
that connects researchers to their activities through
integration in key research workflows.

4.
ORCID Mission
ORCID is an open, not-for-profit,
community-driven organization.
Registry of
persistent unique
identifiers for
researchers
Automating
linkages in
research
workflows

orcid.org

5.
ORCID is a hub
ORCID iD enables
system-to-system
interoperability by
connecting across
disciplines, research
sectors, and national
boundaries.

6.
Benefits to the community
• Unique and persistent iD can be used throughout
career, across professional activities and affiliations
• ORCID iD is embedded in works metadata,
independent of platform
• Improved system interoperability – across
discipline, organization, and country
• Reduced reporting workload for researchers
• Automates repository deposition
• Supports institutional reporting

ORCID APIs support system-to-system
communication and authentication. Through these,
organizations can:
• Get a user’s ORCID iD
• Get data from an ORCID Record
• Let a user import from your system to their ORCID
record
• Enable the user to display on their ORCID record a link
to themself on your system
• Create ORCID iDs for employees and associates
13
What can organizations do with ORCID?
http://orcid.org/organizations/integrators

14.
• Manuscript submission
• Grant application
• Linkage with repositories
• Linkage with other IDs
• University profile & research information
systems
• Exploring integration in association membership
and conference systems.

The

Why
are

• Library

• Other
parts
of
the

are
• Provide
support
and
infrastructure
that
make

processes
more
efficient
– Save
faculty
and
staff
from

31.
Cornell

special
;-­‐)
• Maybe
all

complicated
in
detail?
• Publica0on-­‐based

• Colleges,
centers,
etc.
have
different

Colleges:

– Half

colleges
use

Insight
(AI)
(unfortunately

– Other
half
use
VIVO
• Some
of
these
use
VIVO
as

source
for
primary
faculty
pages
• College
admins
understand
value
of
ORCID
iDs
for
disambigua0on
– Use
VIVO
to
connect
to
ORCID
– Use
VIVO
to
store

for
non-­‐AI
colleges

• NSF

• Manual
effort:
1. For

search
to

2. Send
email
asking

to
verify

3. Check
that
NSF

is
included
in

• Faculty
go
through
similar
processes
with
Dept.
and
College
– Use
VIVO
to
reduce

We can't yet assume that we will only have a single ORCID id for a person.!
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORCID .!
!
We wanted this property to be visible so that people would be aware that we intend to
carry ORCID ids in VIVO for cross-reference. I don't believe any ORCID ids have been
minted yet, but it's hard to imagine they would need to be private since the goal of
having them is to disambiguate author references internationally. However, this and the
researcherId and scopusId (also with domain foaf:Person) can stay as visible to self-
editors for now as they will probably be used mostly in data ingest. It might be nice in
the future to let people make their own decision about whether these are visible.!
