The document discusses the need for a common researcher identification system and the genesis of ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). Key points:
1) A 2009 summit with 21 organizations discussed challenges of identifying researchers across disciplines due to common names. This led to the idea of ORCID, an independent non-profit for a shared researcher registry.
2) Early support from publishers, libraries, and research organizations was seen as critical for adoption.
3) The vision was a system-wide standard to facilitate identification, collaboration and validation for the global research community.
4) Next steps involved formalizing the ORCID organization and exploring technology and business models to make the registry sustainable.
1. The document discusses the challenges and opportunities of enabling public access to publicly funded research, including papers, data, and research processes.
2. It notes that while making papers openly accessible through author manuscript deposit or open access journals has made progress, sharing full data and detailed methodological descriptions remains much more difficult.
3. The document argues that as a major public funder of research, STFC should lead the effort to establish international standards and infrastructure for open sharing of all research outputs and processes in order to maximize the return on public investment in science.

Alexandra Basford, InCoB 2011: A Journal’s Perspective on Data Standards and ...GigaScience, BGI Hong Kong
This document discusses a new open-access journal called GigaScience that publishes large biological datasets. It aims to improve data sharing by assigning digital object identifiers (DOIs) to published datasets to make them easily citable and trackable. The journal faces challenges regarding reproducibility, usability, and adherence to standards. It works to address these by providing tools for data access, encouraging standards compliance, and integrating datasets into its expanding repository.
This document discusses open access to scientific research data. It notes that scientific research is increasingly data-driven and large-scale, especially in fields like high-energy physics, astronomy, and biology. However, inadequate access to research data is a problem, limiting opportunities to reuse data and validate or build upon past findings. The document examines some incentive-based approaches and key developments related to improving data sharing. It provides examples of large-scale data generation projects and challenges around managing and analyzing big data. Overall, the document argues that unrestricted sharing of scientific data deposited in the public domain could accelerate research and advance knowledge.

This document discusses practical applications of Linked Open Data (LOD) for libraries, archives, and museums. It describes how LOD allows these institutions to publish structured data on the web in ways that are interoperable and can be connected to other open datasets. Examples are given of how LOD is being used by various institutions to share metadata, images, and other cultural heritage assets on the web in open, machine-readable formats. The presenter argues that LOD represents a new paradigm that these cultural organizations should embrace to make their collections more accessible and useful on the web.
Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives & MuseumsJon Voss
This document provides an overview of Linked Open Data for libraries, archives, and museums. It discusses the growing movement of LODLAM and how it allows these cultural institutions to represent their data as graphs using triples that describe entities in a machine-readable format. Key concepts covered include the use of URIs, RDF, vocabularies, and different legal tools for publishing open data.
This document discusses the challenges of handling large-scale genomic and biological data and proposes potential solutions. It notes that data volumes are increasing rapidly due to advances in sequencing technology but dissemination and data handling methods have not kept pace. Several hurdles to data sharing are described including technical issues around data size, heterogeneity and longevity as well as economic and cultural barriers. Potential solutions discussed include providing incentives for data sharing through attribution and citation, adopting data citation practices using Digital Object Identifiers, establishing funding models for long-term curation, and launching new databases and journals focused on publishing and analyzing large-scale datasets.

Sitations are the way that researchers communicate how
their work builds on and relates to the work of others and
they can be used to trace how a discovery spreads and is
used by researchers in different disciplines and countries.
Creating a truly comprehensive map of scholarship,
however, relies on having a curated machine-readable
database of citation information, where the provenance of
every citation is clear and reusable. The Initiative for Open
Citations (I4OC), a campaign launched on 6 April 2017,
sought to make publisher members of Crossref aware that
they could open up the citation metadata they already give
to Crossref simply by asking them. With the support of
major publishers and the endorsement of funders and other
organisations, more than 50% of citation data in Crossref
is now freely available, up from less than 1% before the
campaign. This provides the foundation of a well-structured,
open database of literally millions of datapoints that anyone
can query, mine, consume and explore. The presenter will
discuss the aims of the campaign, the new innovative
services that are already using the data, what more still
needs to be done and how you can support the initiative.

Workshop title: Building a global knowledge commons - ramping up repositories to support widespread change in the ecosystem
Workshop abstract:
The extensive international deployment of repository systems in higher education and research institutions, as well as scholarly communities, provides the foundation for a distributed, globally networked infrastructure for scholarly communication. This distributed network of repositories can and should be a powerful tool to promote the transformation of the scholarly communication ecosystem. However, repository platforms are still using technologies and protocols designed almost twenty years ago, before the boom of the web and the dominance of Google, social networking, semantic web and ubiquitous mobile devices. In April 2016, the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) launched a working group to help identify new functionalities and technologies for repositories and develop a road map for their adoption. For the past several months, the group has been working to define a vision for repositories and sketch out the priority user stories and scenarios that will help guide the development of new functionalities. The results of this work will be available in the summer of 2017.
This workshop will present the functionalities and technologies for the next generation of repositories and reflect on how these functionalities will be adopted into the existing software platforms. In addition, participants will discuss the important implications for the network layers, and how repositories will uniformly interact with the networks to provide value added services on top of their content.

The presentation outlines ORCID's core principles of researcher control, community governance, openness and persistence. It also discusses ORCID's governance structure, vision, community and integration with various research systems and publishers.
ORCID as a Community Initiative (Miyairi)ORCID, Inc
This document discusses ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and its role as a community initiative. It notes that ORCID allows publishers, repositories, associations, funders, and universities to collect researcher IDs and connect them to publications, grants, and other work. This enables information to be entered once and then reused across different systems. The document provides membership details and statistics on ORCID adoption in Asia Pacific countries. It emphasizes that ORCID is a community effort that requires support from researchers' affiliated organizations to promote its benefits.
The document discusses several ways that ORCID IDs can be integrated into research workflows and systems. It describes how OJS (Open Journal Systems) allows manuscripts submitted through it to be associated with an ORCID ID. It also outlines how Hong Kong Baptist University is working to give all faculty ORCID IDs to upload employment and works information. Additionally, it notes that SciENCV through the National Library of Medicine allows adding publications and funding to an ORCID profile, and that Scopus enables linking publications to an ORCID record. Finally, it encourages giving permissions to ORCID-enabled systems to help make a researcher more visible and have their activities captured in their ORCID record.
The document discusses changes in the ORCID API from version 1.2 to version 2.0. Some key points discussed include:
- Version 2.0 allows reading and writing data in smaller sections or individual items rather than large chunks, improving performance.
- Permissions are simplified with just 4 scopes in version 2.0 compared to many overlapping scopes in version 1.2.
- Version 2.0 returns activity summaries with basic details rather than full representations of each activity, reducing payload size.
- Version 2.0 introduces display indexes and ordering to control item ordering, unlike version 1.2 which had no defined ordering.

5. Drivers for scope and principles
“Because a numbering system would be for the ages, some
say it shouldn’t be in private hands or held by a single
company.
I would be very worried if an individual publisher
controlled this.
… much more comfortable if it were operated by
… a broad group … whose membership includes
… open-access publishers and scientific societies…”
- Cliff Lynch, Director, CNI

17. ORCID Mission
ORCID is an international, interdisciplinary,
open, and not-for-profit organization created
for the benefit of all stakeholders, including
research organizations, research funders,
organizations, publishers, and researchers
We aim to transform the research ecosystem by
providing a registry of persistent unique
identifiers for researchers and scholars and
automating linkages to research objects such
as publications, grants, and patents.
18. 10 Principles
1. ORCID will work to support the creation of a (subject to the researchers' own privacy
