Technical Implementation: Creating and Managing ORCIDs
From the ORCID Outreach Meeting, May 21-22, 2014, Chicago, Illinois, USA, https://orcid.org/content/orcid-outreach-meeting-and-codefest-may-2014 ORCID identifiers in access management Universities and other research organizations have begun utilizing the ORCID identifier to manage access to repositories and research information systems. This session will feature a discussion of integration opportunities, policy and privacy issues, and demonstrations by research organizations. Moderator: Ed Pentz, Executive Director, CrossRef Presenters: Keith Hazelton, Senior IT Architect the University of Wisconsin-Madison/Chair of Internet2 MACE-Dir working group Jared Lyle, Director of Curation Services, Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), University of Michigan Ken Okaya, Product Manager, Rightsholder Services, Copyright Clearance Center / slides Doug Hahn, Senior Information Technology Manager, Texas A&M University Elaine Westbrooks, Associate University Librarian for Research, University of Michigan

Technical Implementation: Creating and Managing ORCIDs
- 1. Technical Implementation: Creating and Managing ORCiDs Douglas C. Hahn Sr. IT Manager 0000-0003-4327-0476
- 2. Outline The project Conversations with campus IT Division of labor Integration and support The process we followed to create the ORCiDs Lessons learned
- 3. The Project All graduate students will have an ORCiD created for them by TAMU and stored for later use. • What is an ORCiD? • An identifying number tied to a person that is associated with all types of research. • Maybe this is something that campus IT might be interested in tackling.
- 4. Conversation with Campus IT • Everyone involved knew that placing the ORCiD in the campus directory just made sense. • Once in the campus directory it could be exposed through Shibboleth, and existing web services. • Campus IT was excited about the project and were immediately on-board! • Except for one thing… • Campus IT was extremely busy and wouldn’t be able to help with the project anytime soon. Early on in the project we started having conversations with campus IT.
- 5. Next Steps with Campus IT If the Library builds it, campus IT will use it. • ORCiD would be stored in Campus LDAP. • Campus IT would ensure that ORCiDs would be exposed by campus Shibboleth and Web Services. • The Library would undertake the process for creating the ORCiDs. • The Library would provide front line support for any questions surrounding ORCiDs. • The Library would maintain an authoritative list of known ORCiDs that would be sent to campus LDAP daily. • This list would overwrite all existing ORCiDs in campus directory.
- 6. The Division of Labor Early on we realized that two distinct applications were going to be needed. • One application was going to be needed to process all the graduate students and create ORCiDs. • Another application was needed for the ongoing support and integration into other applications.
- 7. Integration and Support Web front ends that other applications can direct patrons to that expose the ORCiD API. Generic Web Services that can be used by other TAMU applications related to ORCiD. Provide a simple one stop application to manage tasks surrounding ORCiDs at TAMU.
- 8. Creating of ORCiDs Of the two aspects of the project creating the ORCiDs was the easiest. • Understand the published API from ORCiD. • Test various processes. • Working with librarians on outreach (mass emails).
- 9. Process workflow TAMU stores token with READ access for later use Email sent to patron with information about ORCiD Patron goes to ORCiD to claim ID and add additional info TAMU uses API to create new ORCiD with Last, First, email TAMU asks for READ limited to patron account
- 10. The Backend Scripts Nothing glamorous or exciting about the scripts we used to create the ORCiDs. Backend database full of graduate students. 2 PHP scripts were created. Main program, and the utilities. Maybe 400 lines of code max. All of the scripts were based off of various command lines examples that can be found in the ORCiD knowledgebase. 01/2014 – Email to patrons telling them about ORCiD. 02/2014 – Email to patrons telling them we are creating. 03/2014 – created 10,000 ORCiD in about 4 hours.
- 12. ORCiD in Vireo our ETD system
- 13. Lessons Learned Spend more time with the ORCiD knowledge base. Tokens granted to institutions by patrons can be complicated and may not allow you to do what you hope for. Use the ORCiD sandbox more to test out all the features available to you.
