Integrating ORCiDA two way conversation
Tom DemeranvilleODIN Project, British Library
What is ODIN? ODIN-PROJECT.EU
Identifying Authors(what do we mean?)
In the wild
Random chemistry professor example
Look at that pile of identifiers and profilesNote it doesn’t include his ORCiD (he’s got one!)And an ISNI, a ScopusID & an institutional profile
Not picking on him, just a regular example
Identifiers vs Profiles(they’re not the same!)
Automated vs Manual Profiles
Nobody wants to type the same thing in twice
Institutions vs UsersDifferent use cases &
Conflicting notions of control
We all want author disambiguation‽
There’s already 5 John Browns in ORCiDNot to mention citation practice confusion
J Brown Brown, J John Brown Jonathon BrownBrown, J N JN Brown
Etc.
Plus name changes, colour confusion in search & more!
What we need…
One identifierMany profiles that solve
different use cases
ORCiD
Identifying Research Outputs
Data citation
EThOS
ethos.ac.uk
DANGER – LIVE DEMO AHEAD
Claiming an E-ThesisThe http://ethos-orcid.appspot.com tool
Also…
Claiming direct from eprintshttp://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1431513/
Ta Da! (Did it work?)
The virtuous circle
Whylinkandhowdowedoit?
MORE LIVE DEMO ANGST
Who’s claiming what?The datacentre reporting tool.Reverse lookup by DOI prefix.

UNDER THE HOOD
The real easy way…Implement a class, configure & deploy!
The more complex, more flexible way…Utilize the library or roll your own.
Working with your repository
It can be really simpleYou don’t always need an API or RDF
It will probably embed something in the webpage
<meta content=”Bloggs, J" name="DC.creator" /><meta content="report" name="eprints.type" />
etc.
Thanks.

Bonus slide if we have time
(With a quick aside about trust and a bit about ISNI)
