The document discusses the ODIN project which aims to explore opportunities for linking ORCID and DataCite identifiers to support open science. It notes that ORCID and DataCite are emerging as participative initiatives that could play a significant role in underpinning a sustainable persistent identifier e-infrastructure. The project conducted a gap analysis and developed a roadmap. It carried out proofs-of-concept in the humanities/social sciences and high energy physics domains. The second year of ODIN focused on promoting adoption of ORCID and DataCite, encouraging interoperability with other systems, establishing workflows for specific domains, and exploring common approaches across domains.

September 2012 – August 2014

3. DataCite
Make research better by enabling
people to find, share, use, and cite
data.
A leading global membership organization
offering reliable persistent data
identification.
We engage researchers, scholars, data
centers, libraries, publishers, and funders
through advocacy, guidance and services.

4. Data Identifiers
This dataset complements the
following publication:
Measurements of Higgs boson

5. ORCID
ORCID is an international,
interdisciplinary, open, not-for-profit,
community-driven organization.
We collaborate with researchers and organizations
across the research community.
Our core mission is to provide an open registry of
persistent unique identifiers for researchers and
scholars AND to automate linkages to research
works by embedding identifiers in research
workflows.

6. Researchers Identifiers
Unique and persistent ORCID iD
Can be used throughout career,
across professional activities and
affiliations
Improved system interoperability –
across discipline, organization, and
country
• Reduced reporting workload for
researchers
• Automates repository deposition
• Supports institutional reporting

7. ODIN Objectives
•
•
•
Requirement for a sustainable and participative
persistent identifier e-infrastructure in support of
data-intensive open science.
ORCID and DataCite are emerging as participative
initiatives which, if linked, can play significant role in
underpinning such e-Infrastructure.
ODIN proposed to explore these opportunities,
highlights gaps and roadmaps, and nurture
interoperability solutions, globally, and for specific
disciplines and beyond.

15. From Gaps to Roadmap
GAP
ACTION
There is only limited
access to PID eInfrastructures for
small organisations.
Lower access barriers for institutions to participate to
interoperable global PID eInfrastructures, through appropriate
agreements between institutions, fostering collaborations and
with the support of national/international bodies.
Some research
communities have little
to no experience with
interoperable PIDs for
data and contributors.
Support those scientific communities without existing PID
solutions to participate to existing interoperable PID
frameworks, while tailoring interfaces to the specificity of the
community.
Local, tailored, PID
systems, with no
interoperable options,
are emerging.
Facilitate interoperability between stakeholders with
community-specific, institution specific or national PIDs
solutions and emerging global open solutions.

16. From Gaps to Roadmap
GAP
ACTION
There is a lack of support
and funding to implement
international interoperable
PID solutions.
Provide (seed) funding to ease local
participation and access to emerging PID
infrastructures.
Methods and tools to track Develop an interoperable PID infrastructure that supports
re-use of research data and development of third-party tools for discoverability,
other scholarly materials
impact assessment, and other value added services.
are lacking.
Policies to encourage data
sharing and acknowledge
data re-use in research
assessment are not yet
widespread.
Design policies to elevate data to a key indicator in
research assessment, with appropriate attribution to their
creators and curators, through implementation and usage
of open and interoperable PIDs.

17. From Gaps to Roadmap
GAP
ACTION
Reliable discovery services
for research data and nontext based scholarly
materials are missing.
Harmonize formats and APIs, so that information from
emerging and existing PID frameworks can be exposed
and mutually enriched, while enabling third-party
discovery services.
Incentives for making
datasets re-usable are
unclear or missing.
Design appropriate incentive systems to pervade research
evaluation, e.g. citation mechanisms based on PIDs for
data, linked to PIDs for contributors.
Value-added services that
can incentivize citation and
open science cannot be
built for lack of a
widespread, interoperable,
PID infrastructure.
Assure that a trusted, open and sustainable interoperable
PID infrastructure is established with ease of participation
of third parties.

19. Second year of ODIN
• Promote adoption of ORCID and DataCite as
building blocks of attribution infrastructure.
• Encourage an open approach from other
repositories and identifiers to interoperate.
• Establish workflows both for HSS and HEP
• Explore commonalities between HSS and HEP,
leading to a common global picture.
