Introduction
Josh Brown

Why ORCID?
“Of the more than 6 million authors in a
major journal citations and abstracts
database, more than two-thirds of them share
a last name and single initial with another
author, and an ambiguous name in the same
database refers on average to eight people.”
http://ands.org.au/newsletters/share_issue18.pdf

Why ORCID?

What is ORCID?
ORCID is a
hub.
ORCID APIs
connect:
•researchers
•their works
•organizations
•other
identifiers

ORCID adoption

VIVO & ORCID
Kristi Holmes, PhD

What is VIVO?
1. An open source
semantic web
application
2. An information
model
3. An open
community

VIVO
An open-source semantic web application that
enables the discovery of research and
scholarship across disciplines in an institution.

How are ORCID and VIVO
complementary?

ORCID iD is the permanent, global
identifier, with enough information to
aid in disambiguation of the person
VIVO is typically an institutionally-
managed profile of the researcher’s
activities and outputs

http://www.co2partners.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/path.png
VIVO stays at the
institution,
ORCID stays with
the researcher
• So especially for early-
career researchers, ORCID
iDs will link VIVO profiles at
different institutions as the
researcher moves
• Place as well as name
changes over time -- even
for established people

Longitudinal tracking of people –
a tough nut to crack!
• Scholars and Trainees
• Alumni
• Visiting scientists
• Administrators
• Mentors and mentees

Draft

Longitudinal tracking of people –
a tough nut to crack!
• the role ORCID is
currently playing
• Enhancing the process
through researcher
information systems

Accreditation requirements
• One institution has a
behind-the-firewall VIVO
to track their alumni for 3
years after graduation, a
requirement for
accreditation
• ORCID iDs would help
reduce the effort
VIVO

Galter Library’s Metrics and
Impact Core
• The Metrics and Impact Core (MIC), housed in Galter Library, has
expertise in bibliometrics, data visualization, continuous
improvement, information systems and alternative metrics. The
core provides extensive advisory services for researchers, groups
or departments on topics such as:
• developing successful publishing strategies
• managing or tracking publications
• maintaining an impactful online identity
• measuring or assessing research impact by discipline
• communicating research impact to audiences
• MIC uses a wide collection of resources, including Scopus, Web of
Science, Essential Science Indicators, Google Scholar, NU
Scholars, Journal Citation Reports, and more, to provide services
and reports for:
• Researchers or clinicians to demonstrate impact of published works to promotion
or tenure committees, or the impact of research studies to funding agencies when
applying for funding
• Research groups/institutions/departments to discover how research findings
are being used to promote science, or an overall view of research publications and
outputs by a specific group

Seeking data
1. a better perspective of scholarly outputs for everyone
• Multiple sources covering multiple subjects and disciplines;
authoritative sources; Disambiguated and de-duplicated
1. a way to tie these outputs to institutional efforts,
systems, and workflows in a meaningful way grants
and to our IR
2. a way to track this information moving forward
3. a better perspective of scholarly outputs for everyone
• ORCID allows longitudinal tracking
• Diverse outputs
• Can be a compliment to survey data
• Helpful for alumni
Nobody gets excited about filling out annual data
reports and it is hard to track our scholars after they
leave our institution… ORCID offers us a way to make
that more automated with our profiling systems.

ORCID iDs & VIVO Profiles
Jon Corson-Rikert

How do ORCID iDs and VIVO
profiles work together?
• In the VIVO-ISF ontology
• Through VIVO software extensions
• Examples
– Cornell
– George Washington University
– Texas A&M University
– University of Colorado-Boulder

ORCID iDs in the VIVO-ISF
ontology
• The property vivo:orcidId is an object
property to support connecting VIVO and
ORCID in the linked data web
• The object value is a resource of the form
http://orcid.org/NNNN-NNNN-NNNN-NNNN
• VIVO displays the iD as a direct link to the
person’s ORCID record

2014 ORCID A&I Grant
• Cornell received a 2014 ORCID Adoption
and Integration grant, funded by the
Sloan Foundation
• Enabled VIVO as of the 1.7 release to
support communication between VIVO
and ORCID
• Create or confirm an ORCID iD directly
with ORCID from VIVO

Dual Outcomes
• VIVO adds the ORCID iD to the person’s
VIVO profile and linked data
– Displays in VIVO as either
“confirmed” or “pending confirmation”
• VIVO requests permission to provide a
VIVO URI to ORCID

ORCID Record Linked to VIVO

Examples
• Cornell – simplest approach through
VIVO and orcid.cornell.edu
• George Washington University – pilot
profile population from ORCID records
• Texas A&M – creating ORCID iDs for
graduate students, adding them to
VIVO
• University of Colorado – creating ORCID
iDs for faculty members

Cornell Low Key Approach
• Offer the opportunity to create or
confirm an ORCID iD through VIVO
– Complicated by separate faculty
reporting path for part of the campus
– Hoping to move the whole campus to
Symplectic Elements and also
leverage their ORCID integration
• orcid.cornell.edu available in the mean
time and for grad students

George Washington University
• Part of a larger 5-university VIVO pilot
by the Southeastern Universities
Research Association (SURA)
– Goal is to link researchers across 70
member institutions
• Justin Littman has pulled in publications
and other information from ORCID as a
proof of concept alternative to self-edit
for researchers not included in faculty
reporting

Sample GWU Screenshot

Texas A&M University
• Also recipient of 2014 ORCID A&I grant
• Minted over 10,000 ORCID iDs and
added them to an internal-facing VIVO
• Focus on grad students, with intent to
expand to faculty
• Violeta Ilik modeled the data using
Karma and ingested into VIVO
– Karma data integration tool from USC
– http://www.isi.edu/integration/karma/

TAMU ORCID Management App
Clement, Gail, Cooper, Micah, Hahn, Doug, Ilik, Violeta, Tucker, Sandy. "It Takes a Village to Grow ORCIDs on Campus: Establishing
and Integrating Unique Scholar Identifiers at Texas A&M" 2014 Texas Conference on Digital Libraries, Austin, TX, May 6-7, 2014.
• Mint iDs
• Manage
existing
iDs
• Automate
publishing

University of Colorado-Boulder
• Again a VIVO-related recipient of 2014
ORCID A&I grant
• Joint initiative of the Office of Faculty
affairs and the Library
• ORCID iDs to be used in a number of
campus systems
– And shared with other university and
affiliated systems

CU Boulder Process & Timeline
• April, 2014 – pre-registration communication
with campus
• July, 2014 – 3209 new registrations
– Tenure-track, instructors, research
faculty, but not temporary faculty
– 3 opt-out requests received
– 210 faculty with pre-existing ORCID iDs,
including 90 with emails at ORCID;
reconciled this information separately

CU Boulder (continued)
• 22% of the faculty had claimed their
ORCID iD within 3 days
• As of 4/14/15:
– Total claimed = 1657
– Total deactivated ~12
– Total ORCID iDs registered= 3334
– Claim rate 49.7%

Ongoing Implementation
• A new ORCID module is included on the
reporting tool used for the annual merit
process
– Shows the status of their ORCID iD
and helps the faculty get info to claim
or use their ORCID
• Added claimed ORCID iD hyperlink to
VIVO CU-Boulder profile pages

June 11, 2013

CU Boulder Ongoing
Implementation (continued)
• Created view for department heads to see ORCID
iDs for their faculty including whether it has been
claimed
• Shared claimed ORCID iDs for Boulder faculty
with CCTSI partners at the CU Anschutz Medical
School to show on Colorado Profiles, a medical
research network for the University of Colorado
based on Harvard Profiles and PubMed data
• Renewed ORCID membership

CU Boulder – Upcoming ToDos
• Rerun the registration process to pick up
about 550 new faculty hires
• Leverage new functionality in Symplectic
Elements around ORCID iD
• Consider new options for managing ORCID
registration for new hires (VIVO, Elements,
or others)
• Consider how/if we want to push or ingest
data to/from ORCID

Colorado Research Diamond
• As part of Flagship 2030, CU hopes to
develop a collaborative enterprise
among regional universities, businesses,
government, and federal laboratories to
develop and apply new technologies
• ORCID iDs shared across VIVOs at
UNAVCO, NCAR, and CU Boulder will
help enable that vision

Challenges & Confusions
Simeon Warner

“How much information should my
ORCID record have?”
“I have a VIVO profile so why should I
maintain one in ORCID too?”
•Bottom line is that it is a researcher
choice, they are in control
•A certain amount of information and
linking is very helpful

Minimal record
Registration is quick and easy,
just 30 seconds to enter
1. name
2. email
3. password
4. agree to privacy policy
A minimal ORCID record that is
enough to get an iD and use it
in research workflows

Helpful ORCID record (1)
Reasons to add a little more information:
1.Provide enough information so that someone who
follows a link to your record, or searches for you, can
understand which "John Smith" you are
– alternate names
– education and employment information
– a few works. Everyone likes to show off their best
work …
– opens the door for disambiguation of existing data

Helpful ORCID record (2)
Reasons to add a little more information:
2.Provide other identifiers so that ORCID can act as a
switchboard to connect your identities in different
systems.
– local profile id (e.g. my VIVO id at Cornell)
– Scopus Author ID, Researcher ID, ISNI
– (Using the search and link wizards that connect to
these other systems is also the easiest way to add
works.)

Expansive ORCID record
There are many import wizards for
– connection of an ORCID record to other identifiers
– import of works, grants, etc..
– source is recorded and provides way to assess trust
– manual entry also supported
UI groups information about the same
work from multiple sources
– user can select preferred one

You may make your ORCID record
a complete picture of your research
contributions if you choose.
But a complete record isn't
necessary for ORCID to work and
you can link to other profile
systems such as VIVO.

ORCID and the Semantic Web
• An ORCID iD is a URI
• ORCID has limited support for RDF
• More work on 2015 roadmap
• New W3C report suggesting
improvements to clarify identifier
semantics
• Ivan Herman (W3C) serving on ORCID
Technical Steering Group

Which person identifier?
ORCID, ISNI, VIAF, id.loc.gov,…?
•No single person identifier for all uses
•ORCID is researcher driven and designed
to be used in workflows:
“An ounce of ambiguity avoidance is
worth a pound of disambiguation”
•Workflow integration avoids name
ambiguity at source

Hub identifier linking to
other identifiers and to
profiles in other systems

Profusion of Identifiers
Kristi Holmes

Profusion of Identifiers
Profusion of URIs for people
– Can ORCID provide crosswalking
services and function as a global
sameAs registry?
– ORCID already supports
researchers supplementing their
records with additional external
URIs -- this is a key use case for
ORCID
•What are the temporal aspects?
•How can goals of linked data be
achieved in concert with other groups
such as libraries, disciplinary
repositories, etc.

International Context
Josh Brown

VIVO, ORCID and others
ORCID and VIVO work together, and in
partnership with international organizations
to further data connections and the
applications of standards
•CASRAI – Project CRediT
•EuroCRIS
•Seeking use cases to address
