Update on ORCID Phase 1 development
• Beta development well underway• API specification documents:
http://orcid.org/twg
• Mock API Code for download: https://github.com/orcid
• Early adopters now have something hands-on to work with
• Key API features– Retrieve profile data in multiple formats– OAuth authenticated read/write access

Outlook for ORCID in 2012
• Enough $$$ to start operations now secured, so organization is hiring Executive Director, Technical Director & other staff
• Complete Phase 1 development and launch public beta service– Focus on active researchers: register to populate own profile, select institutions
depositing profiles for their staff, API for interacting with external profile systems
• Flesh out Phase 2 development roadmap– More extensive functionality: disambiguation, deposit profiles by non-institutional
3rd parties, record contributor roles, users to claim non-article published works
• Key challenges– Phase 2 discussions in TWG at near-standstill recently - NEED full-time staff!– ORCID Board politics– Community outreach, to users and especially developers
– Support in journal MS tracking systems <-- main point of contact for academics

The 1st IRISC workshop @CSC, Helsinki• Workshop themes
– unambiguously identifying authors/creators & attributing their scholarly works
– individual identification and access management in the context of identity federations
• Workshop aims– Raising overall awareness of key technical and non-technical challenges,
opportunities and developments. – Facilitating a dialogue, cross-pollination of ideas, collaboration and coordination
between diverse – and largely unconnected – communities. – Identifying & discussing existing/emerging technologies, best practices and
requirements for researcher identification.
• >60 participants, 2/3 from IDF community• Mixture of plenary sessions & facilitated, interactive discussions
in 2x parallel breakout sessions

IRISC workshop summary, key points
• End user adoption of the ORCID identifier service and its future expanded role– Encourage developers to use ORCID API sandbox to build proof-of-concept apps
– Promoting benefits of scholary IDs and identifier infrastructure in the scientific community
• Identity federations and interfederation services and their role in research e-infrastructure– Many issues relating to usability, outreach, privacy risks with releasing user data,
attribute harmonization, etc
• Opportunities for collaboration and interoperability– ORCID-to-IDF connectivity - solution for ‘homeless’ & ‘nomadic’ researchers?– Interest piloting IDF-based access management for biomedical data– Best way to express a user’s ORCID author identifier as an IDF attribute

Other identity-related developments• Piloting GWAS ‘nanopublications’ (joint with OpenPHACTS)
– GWAS Central as ‘nanopublisher’
– Core variant<->disease assertions from GWAS papers published as Linked Data– Provenance section of nanopub RDF to include attribution via ORCID URIs
• Publication credit for Cafe Variome deposits– O. Lancaster (orcid:934-342-433-91). 4x variants in BRCA2 gene. Published online
via Cafe Variome. 21 January (2011) doi:10.1255/caferouge.BRCA2-2352354 => http://api.caferouge.org/atomserver/v1/caferouge/mutations/2352354
– Assertion in ORCID: orcid:934-342-433-91 <created> doi:10.1255/caferouge.BRCA2-2352354

Contribution tracking for Drupal websites
• Currently, in a typical Drupal CMS installation– Registered users have account on site (a local user ID)
– System tracks which users post which bits of content– Reporting tools provided to see who posted what
• But poster is frequently NOT the person(s) who actually created the work

Aim #1: Enhance provenance of site content
15
• Make it possible to– link multiple local user IDs on Drupal site with content of certain types (nodes)
– browse, search & discover content based on “contributorship” information– e.g. list all deliverables associated with Adam Webb– e.g. which persons have contributed to deliverable XX
– Example of enriched attribution metadata:– D9.3 Draft Report on Incentives [...]

Aim #2: enable linking to ORCID ID service
• Extend Drupal to add ORCID integration in order to:– enable users to link their local user ID with an ORCID and
– submit author <-> publication assertions to central ORCID index
• How will this work?– Button for signing in with ORCID (think “Sign in with Twitter”) – User authorizes KC site to interact with ORCID on his behalf
• How will this be implemented?– Build as a standalone Drupal module that any site can take and use
– Main targets: GEN2PHEN KC, BioSHaRE Mica platform, UoIceland inst. site

Key benefits / motivation• General: enhanced visibility for contributors on community site
– Deliverable reports, dissemination activities, working papers, software etc.
– Who has contributed to what content
• ORCID-enablement– NOT totally essential, BUT would support a range of important use cases, e.g.:
• Starting from ORCID site, discover a person’s GEN2PHEN/BioSHARE contributions and learn more about the nature of those contributions
• Starting from GEN2PHEn/BioSHARE site, find the author’s primary scholarly profile on IRCID and discover more of his/her works
• Use as a platform for experimenting with ID-based functionality– Technical “nuts&bolts” of integration via the ORCID API– Workflows for: authors assigning authorship via IDs, claiming authorship, etc.– Capturing&displaying nature of contribution: author/analyst/curator/reviewer

GEN2PHEN 8th General Assembly Meeting, Leiden, Jan 24-25 2012
Identifiers vs. locators
• Identification == crucial requirement for attributing credit– Who contributed?
– What was contributed to?
• ORCID needs some sort of handle or pointer to the “stuff”• URL location <-- workable for general content if no other option
– Internet location + some basic metadata to indicate what kind of content• Example: http://www.le.ac.uk/~gt50/very_important_report.pdf
– Content moves => link is broken => users cannot access => BAD!
• Persistent identifier <-- vital for ‘proper’ scholarly record, long term– DOI or other persistent identifer + copy of bibliographic info– Identifier resolves to metadata record, link to location of content
• Example: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nbt1109-984b => ‘landing page’ on journal website
– Content moves => DOI metadata is updated => identifier points to new location

IDs in GEN2PHEN, 12-18 month outlook
• Continue to support (and influence) ORCID development– TWG discussions, feedback on specs, piloting, promote at meetings etc.
• Contributor tracking and related work– tooling potentially widely useful to many websites based on same CMS– develop/promote, good progress achievable before end of GEN2PHEN
• WP9 - sustainability, incentivization for sharing– Contributor IDs and resource IDs key components in BRIF
• ID-based data access management - need to continue to investigate & liase with IDF community
• Repeat IRISC workshop– Autumn this year, or maybe Q2 2013
• Beyond GEN2PHEN, Q3 2013 - ?
