I would have run to him…I did not know
how he would receive me; so I did what
cowardice and false pride suggested
was the best thing, - walked deliberately
to him, took off my hat, and said,
‘Dr. Livingstone, I presume?’
Stanley Finds Livingstone, 1871

24. ORCID’s Mission
ORCID, Inc. is a non-profit organization that aims to
solve the author/contributor name ambiguity problem
in scholarly communications by creating a central
registry of unique identifiers for individual researchers
and an open and transparent linking mechanism
between ORCID and other current author ID
schemes.
These identifiers and the relationships among them
can be linked to the researcher’s output to enhance
the scientific discovery process and to improve the
efficiency of research funding and collaboration within
the research community. 24

28. Development Approach
• To create an ORCID Alpha Prototype and clarify desired features within the
community around the following areas:
• Federated workflow
• Federated data privacy
• Services design and protocols
• Data schema designs
• GUI design
• Individual / Batch profile matching
• To establish workstreams and collaborative relationships across a multitude
of competing and cooperating organizations, including:
• Individual curated biographic profile exchange
• Alogrithmically curated biographic profile matching
• Bibiliographic profile access
• Identification, provenance, and federation
• Privacy
• Organizational legal issues
• To expose the Alpha prototype for further design and architecture feedback
28
29. Alpha Use Cases
An author can either create a new ORCID ID or import profile information from
an existing profile system (e.g., Scholar Universe, Researcher ID, Scopus,
REPEC). Once an author has an ORCID ID they can export this profile
information from ORCID to relevant stakeholder systems.
Stakeholders are researchers (who can use ORCIDs to more efficiently and
accurately record and present their research-related profiles), institutions (where
ORCIDs might be used in researcher evaluation), publishers (where ORCIDs are
input into manuscript tracking systems), and funding agencies (where ORCIDs
might be used for evaluation or tracking of research).
Privacy and access rights as well as funding issues are being tackled. Some
information will be optional and researchers will have control over their private
data in the registry.
ORCID may be linked to other registries, such as the International Standard
Name Identifier (ISNI) a draft international standard for tracking creators, actors,
artists and performers.
30. Alpha Features
• Easy registration process: Researchers fill out a registration form or have it
pre-populated with data from an ORCID partner system (e.g. Scopus,
RePec, AuthorClaim).
• User-controlled privacy settings: The researcher controls how much/little
information about him/herself that they want to make publically available.
• Local-language support: The database supports UTF-8 character-set.
Searching by unicode characters is also supported.
• Search: The system supports search of public profiles by first/last name;
institution; keyword; ORCID number. In addition, the system allows for
browsing by keyword and supports auto-suggest for keyword and institution.
• Publication claiming: Researchers can perform a doi search against
CrossRef to add publications to their profile. A link to view the publication at
the publisher’s site is also captured.
• Integration with ORCID partner systems: Services include the ability for
partners to search ORCID, upload and download profile and publication
information.

Institution/Organization
Researcher
Management Systems
Services integration with
ORCID System
Batch upload to ORCID
System from
Institution/Organization
Emails to Researchers to
verify ORCID ID claims
and IDs added to ORCID
Batch download of
enriched profiles and
ORCID IDs by
Institution/Organization
ORCID profiles available
on ORCID website
• Universities and Organizations
can upload batches of profiles to
facilitate generation of ORCID
IDs
• In Alpha, individual researchers
must respond to system
generated emails to claim their
IDs and make their profiles live
• Solution is web services based
and depends on development of
an administrative interface or
integration with external
administrative system
• Provenance of uploaded data
stored in database
• Profiles can be batch downloaded
by organizations 44
