I am all these different
people to different
people at different times

It matters to me...

...credit for what I’ve done

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/gail/309568668 CC-BY

...there are things you don’t
want to be associated with...

...what if you’re this guy (or one
of his friends) and want to work
in vaccine research...?

...funders want more
information on outputs

More measurement

...serious consequences

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/erix/27946743 CC-BY

...and we’re spending £12B
of the taxpayer’s money

...it might be nice
to get this right

...it might be nice
to get this right(ish)

...but that’s all a bit negative
http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/bensonkua/3165739586 CC-BY-SA

what about a positive view?

...if I want to see
more open data

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/swanksalot/2704017177 CC-BY-SA

...a more diverse research community

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/untitlism/22800371 CC-BY

...if I want people to agree
to referee requests...

...then they need to be
recognised and rewarded

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/wmjas/68005012 CC-BY-SA

Rewards can be big...

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/natematias/310642831 CC-BY-SA

...trusted
http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/joi/2941559903 CC-BY

...and unambiguously
linked to one person

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/frielp/2661943 CC-BY

In today’s world with its diverse
outputs and metrics any
assessment that cannot be
independently and automatically
replicated is not credible.

For usability,
transparency,
and reliability,
we need a clear
researcher id

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/_dietrich/2402860858 CC-BY

So what should it look like?

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/37868257@N05/3546402630 CC-BY

A token, not an
authentication mechanism

For researchers,
by researchers

The property of the
individual, not controlled
by a commercial group

Any centralised authority
must represent all the
stakeholders not just
entrenched interests.

Future proof, portable,
and native to the open
data web.

...whose data do you trust?

http://is.gd/thVr

We trust people...

...not objects

A semantic social web
of objects (and data,
and process and...)

(Some of) the 
people I trust...

...in diﬀerent ways 
and for diﬀerent 
things

No single metric will work for
every person or purpose...

...but with robust identity
tokens we can build metrics
for the purpose at hand

We can build a reward
structure that supports a
more diverse and open
research community.

We can build and manage the
trust networks that will let us
navigate an open web of data.
