description

The University of Missouri System and @mire are currently developing an integration between DSpace and ORCID, an infrastructure for persistent digital identifiers for researchers. The project pursues two distinct goals: Lowering the threshold to adopt ORCID for the members of the DSpace community ORCID offers an API, allowing developers to build points of integration between ORCID and third party applications. Today this still requires individual members of the DSpace community to implement front-end and back-end modifications to the DSpace source code in order to leverage these APIs. Because DSpace is meant as a turnkey Institutional Repository platform, not every institution using DSpace has software development resources available to implement this kind of functionality. By contributing a solution directly to the core DSpace codebase, this threshold to adopt ORCID functionality in DSpace repositories is effectively lowered. The ultimate goal is to allow easy adoption of ORCID without customization of the DSpace software, by allowing repository administrators to enable or disable functionality by means of user friendly configuration. Address generic use cases with appealing end user functionality This proposal aims to provide user friendly features for both repository administrators as well as non- technical end users of the system. The addition of ORCID functionality to DSpace should not come at the cost of making the system more difficult for administrators and end users to use.

The Problem

These were just a few uncommon

exceptions, right?NO.

WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?

Trust

Re-use of repository metadata

OBJECTIVE

Making it easy for repository managers to enhance and cleanup author metadata knowing that

Names are not reliable

Not everyone will have an ORCID

IMPLEMENTED FUNCTIONALITY

ORCID and DSpace Authority Control Integration

Author lookup for new submissions (UI)

Author lookup for edits on items (UI)

Author identifiers in Batch CSV editing

WHAT DSPACE ALREADY OFFERED

INTEGRATION

String representation of the name in standard Dublin Core metadata enhanced with DSpace compliant authority

control id

“authority cache” stores extended

contributor metadata, including ORCID ID and

alternative names

NEW SUBMISSIONS

Adding an author with an identifier should ideally be as easy as providing a simple name.

Indicates that author is in DSpace Authority control

Authors in red are in DSpace Authority Control

Authors in black are NOT in DSpace Authority Control

ITEM EDITS

Editing existing items should offer the same easy of use for administrators.

DSpace Authority

Control ID

Staff enhances contributor string names with ORCID

Administrator finalizes by re-uploading edited file

Administrator exports existing work metadata

Author identifiers in Batch CSV editing

SPREADSHEET EXAMPLE

Add ORCID identifier to spreadsheet for batch deposit of metadata into DSpace:“ORCID:dc.contributor.author”

Non-ORCID authors can still be imported: “dc.contributor.author”

SPREADSHEET EXAMPLE

ORCID authors are retrieved automatically, and the author’s name is displayed in DSpace

DSPACE 5 CONTRIBUTION

To be released as part of DSpace 5Scheduled for Fall 2014

Patches for earlier DSpace 4.x and 3.x:

will be made available for download throughatmire.com/website/?q=contributions

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

Display ORCID identifier on item pages

Link to author ORCID profile

Add ORCID identifiers to Google Scholar <meta> tags

UI to manage DSpace Authority Control
