ORCID identifiers provide a unique identifier for researchers and link their activities like publications, datasets, and grants. Over 1.1 million identifiers have been created since launch in just over 2 years. ORCID aims to be integrated into research workflows to reduce name ambiguity and save effort by pre-populating information. Publishers are beginning to include ORCID identifiers in publication metadata to improve discovery and allow updating researcher profiles. ORCID serves as a hub, linking other identifiers and profiles for a researcher across different systems and organizations.

About the Webinar
In the world of authority control, it is a bit of an alphabet soup of acronyms. ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), which is a system to uniquely identify scientific and other academic authors; ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier), which identifies the public identities of contributors to media content such as books, television programs, and newspaper articles; and VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) a system that combines multiple name authority files into a single authority service, hosted by OCLC, all have their place when discussing identifiers for authority control.
Identity issues and disambiguating authors, researchers, other content creators, and their institutional affiliations are crucial as we move into a world of linked data. In this webinar, presenters will cover the implications and differences between ORCID, ISNI, and VIAF, what is the proper use of each, and some of the benefits that come with using authority files and making that information available on the Web.

ORCID Implementation in Open Access Repositories and Institutional Research I...Simeon Warner
Slides from presentation with Pablo de Castro at Open Repositories 2013 (http://or2012.net/)
ORCID provides individual researchers and scholars with a persistent unique identifier. Initial adoption has been rapid but the full benefit will be realized only if ORCID iDs are used by all stakeholder communities. ORCID iDs enable reuse of items in new contexts by making connections between items from the same author in different places. Through its author-focused approach ORCID will contribute to bridging the current divide between management of publications and research data, which are often carried out in independent ways through different, frequently disconnected kinds of repositories. We discuss procedures and strategies for ORCID iD implementation in two different contexts: Open Access repositories, and institutional research information management systems.
The presentation discusses the following topics:
- What Is ORCID?
- Why ORCID Important?
- ORCID Features
- Create an ORCID Account
- ORCID Researcher Profile

Who's the Author? Identifier soup - ORCID, ISNI, LC NACO and VIAFSimeon Warner
Identifiers, including ORCID, ISNI, LC NACO and VIAF, are playing an increasing role in library authority work. Well describe changes to cataloging practices to leverage identifiers. We'll then tell a short story of the how and why of ORCID identifiers for researchers, and relationships with other person identifiers. Finally, we'll discuss the use of identifiers as part of moves toward linked data cataloging being explored in Linked Data for Libraries work (in the LD4L Labs and LD4P projects).

Questioning Authority Lookup Service: Linking the DataSimeon Warner
One segment of a presentation "From idea to implementation: BIBFRAME becomes reality", Charleston, 2022
The implementation of BIBFRAME in active cataloguing workflows and linked data exchange environments is live and it’s evolving across several paths that are often intertwined. This complex bibliographic ecosystem consists of many experiences that the speakers will present highlighting their value both as autonomous endeavours, as well as from the perspective of interaction and options for mutual integration.
The Library of Congress, with the BIBFRAME original cataloguing editor, Marva, will report about developments and achievements for bringing BIBFRAME into practice in a very large library environment with many cataloguing workflows for diverse types of resources, encompassing the use of and adjustments to the BIBFRAME ontology and its modelling.
On the topic of original and copy cataloguing in linked data, Stanford and Cornell Universities are working to achieve a dynamic form of cataloguing through the implementation of Sinopia linked data editor and enrichment tools such as the Questioning Authority that queries authoritative sources to support linked data authorities.
Regarding the impact of linked data processes on the user experience, the University of Pennsylvania has contributed a study describing the functionalities and scenarios which the Share-VDE 2.0 entity discovery system https://www.svde.org/ addresses, and the ways in which user feedback is supporting the evolution of linked data discovery.
Share-VDE (SVDE) is an international library-driven initiative which brings together the bibliographic catalogues and authority files of a community of libraries in an innovative entity discovery environment based on linked data. A path towards the integration of SVDE with the local library services at the University of Pennsylvania and with the Sinopia environment is ongoing. Being a linked open data node, SVDE supports various levels of interoperability and also provides additional tools like the J.Cricket entity editor based on BIBFRAME that opens up new forms of cooperation among libraries to manage and maintain linked data entities.
OCFL: A Shared Approach to Preservation PersistenceSimeon Warner
A lightning talk at the CNI Fall Forum 2022: The Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL) is an application-independent method for storing and versioning content for digital preservation. Version 1.1 was released in October 2022, including backwards compatible corrections and clarifications based on implementation experience and community feedback. The session will recap goals, summarize changes in v1.1, and survey current implementations.
The Oxford Common File Layout: A common approach to digital preservationSimeon Warner
The Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL) specification began as a discussion at a Fedora/Samvera Camp held at Oxford University in September of 2017. Since then, it has grown into a focused community effort to define an open and application-independent approach to the long-term preservation of digital objects. Developed for structured, transparent, and predictable storage, it is designed to promote sustainable long-term access and management of content within digital repositories. This presentation will focus on the motivations and vision for the OCFL, explain key choices for the specification, and describe the status of implementation efforts.

Mind the gap! Reflections on the state of repository data harvestingSimeon Warner
A 24x7 presentation at Open Repositories 2017 in Brisbane, Australia.
I start with an opinionated history of the evolution of repository data harvesting since the late 1990's to the present. A conclusion is that we are currently in danger of creating a repository environment with fewer cross-repository services than before, with the potential to reinforce the silos we hope to open. I suggest that the community needs to agree upon a new solution, and further suggest that solution should be ResourceSync.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

o Research activities
o Living people
o There are fewer researchers than the scope of people and
personas covered by ISNI or VIAF
CONTRIBUTOR -- ORCID intended to be used for the spectrum of
actors in the research process, not just authors, and records roles.
o Already supports roles like translator, principal investigator
o 2012 Harvard Workshop

7. Researcher driven
Creation methods:
• integrations dominate
• website second
• institutional creation
Researcher must be involved to create or activate the ORCID iD,
and can control the privacy settings and/or add information.
Recommend institutions use the trusted party creation method
rather then direct record creation. Need to connect with and
educate users anyway. Can pre-populate registration fields.

Publisher captures ORCID iD during manuscript submission
o Authenticated process, no mistyping, accurate
o User may grant permission to add works later
Publisher includes ORCID iD in metadata when minting DOI
o Will be available to support discovery
o Available in CrossRef search
Publisher/CrossRef writes metadata back to ORCID record
o Holder notified, can control visibility
o Saves effort updating record
o Information flow to other systems such as local profile (e.g.
I've linked my ORCID record with my VIVO profile)
Similar process for datasets, mediated by DataCite

13. Funder workflow
• Use for applicants and reviewers
• Profile data reduces applicant/grantee form filling burden
• Improve reporting accuracy
• Pull publications, datasets and other works based on ORCID iD

18. Helpful ORCID record
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
o alternate names
o education and employment information
o a few works. Everyone likes to show off their best work …
o opens the door for disambiguation of existing data
1. Provide other identifiers so that ORCID can act as a
switchboard to connect your identities in different systems.
o local profile id (e.g. my VIVO id at Cornell)
o Scopus Author ID, Researcher ID, ISNI
o (Using the search and link wizards that connect to these
other systems is also the easiest way to add works.)
19.
20. Expansive ORCID record
There are many import wizards which not only allow
o connection of an ORCID record to other identifiers
o also import of works, grants, etc..
o source is recorded and provides way to assess trust
ORCID registry has facilities for users to enter works themselves,
specify their roles, etc..
ORCID UI groups information about the same work from multiple
sources
o user may select preferred one to display
You may make your ORCID record a complete picture research
contributions if you choose. But a complete record isn't necessary
for ORCID to work.

Editor's Notes
I’m Simeon Warner and I work in the Cornell University Library. I also serve on the board of ORCID. I thank Laure Haak (ORCID executive director) and Josh Brown (ORCID regional directory for Europe) for slides and images that I have reused. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to speak about ORCID as part of this NiSO webinar.
Perhaps the subtitle for my talk should “Use ORCID iDs in research workflows to solve name ambiguity and save everyone a bunch of effort!”. This may be a little cheeky, but this is the key message of my talk and I will spend some time explaining it. There are many aspects of ORCID that I could talk about but this is an important one, and also a key differentiator between ORCID, and ISNI and VIAF which illustrates situations where these different identifiers are best used.
A little background: ORCID is open, non-profit and community driven. It is designed to meet the specific need of solving the ambiguity problem with controlled scope and with policies that are acceptable to the range of stakeholders, including the researchers themselves. ORCID provides two core functions: a registry and APIs to interact with it.
In a little over 2 years since launch, ORCID has issued over 1.1M ids, and has over 190 members from all sectors. ORCID is younger that VIAF and ISNI. Significantly, the key driver for ORCID identifier creation is INTEGRATION with other systems. Note the “Trusted Party” parts of the bars – these represent integrations
Out of the more than 190 memberships I’d like to highlight a few national level integrations. Back in 2011 Jisc in the UK recommended ORCID as the solution for researcher identifiers and there is an ongoing pilot Jisc-ARMA project for potential UK-wide adoption. Denmark has a national effort for integration with a goal of 80% registration and person-publication linkages for the national repository. In Sweden the use or ORCID ids will be integrated with the grants process and there are efforts to link ORCIDs in national and university repositories. In 2014 ORCID developed a consortial model for national memberships and there are ongoing discussions with other countries.
ORCID = Open RESEARCHER AND CONTRIBUTOR Identifier. Scope is all research activities over all disciplines. Deals only with living people at present because a small amount of researcher engagement is required. ISNI scope is broader as covers rights management contexts, including fictional characters or personas, and also identifiers for organizations. About 10% of ISNI assignments are to researchers (as off summer 2014)
ORCID is not just for authors, but covers CONTRIBUTORS more generally. Not time to discuss details here be see workshop write-ups from 2012 and 2014. Work is ongoing with the community to understand appropriate roles and their description but the ORCID registry already includes roles such as principal investigator and translator which are not always well represented by the notion of “authorship”
ORCID is researcher-driven per our privacy policy and only live people can register or claim and ORCID iD. VIAF is an aggregation of librarian-created authority files from several national libraries. ISNI is librarian/algorithm-driven and may assign ISNIs to living and dead authors based on publicly available works. This is a key distinction between ORCID and ISNI and VIAF.
ORCID uses Ringgold (an ISNI registrar) organization list to support connection between individuals and education and employment affiliations
Auto-complete of funding agency information in ORCID is based on FundRef data. If one types “nsf” that will auto-complete for example.
Integration of ORCID iDs in research workflows
There is already significant adoption of ORCID within the publisher community. At time of submission, one or more authors are asked to authenticate with ORCID to provide a verified ORCID identifier. At this time the author may grant the publisher permission to update their record with the publication information when accepted and published. Review and correction may take some time but when it comes time to publish then a CrossRef DOI is typically assigned and the publisher provides metadata, including ORCID identifiers, for the CrossRef database. As soon as the publication information is know, the round trip will be completed by the publisher (or CrossRef on behalf of the publisher) updating the author(s) record(s) with the new work. This last step will be implemented very soon and there are already many works in the CrossRef DB with ORCIDs associated with them,
To recap on this process and emphasize a few points: On submission ORCID authentication avoids mistyping or other errors, the identifier association will be accurate. ORCIDs are searchable in the CrossRef database and will be available to support discovery. Finally, if permission was granted the publisher or CrossRef can write metadata back to the ORCID record.
A similar process is being implemented for datasets by DataCite.
Another workflow to mention is integration with funders as part of submission and review processes. Perhaps the two most common key drivers are improved precision and transparency of assessment and tracking activities associated with funder researchers, and the desire to improve accuracy and save researcher time when “form filling” – information from their ORCID record can be used to pre-populate forms.
“An ounce of ambiguity avoidance is worth a pound of disambiguation”. ORCID changes the question from “how do you disambiguate authors?” to “how do we get everyone engaged at source to avoid name ambiguity in the first place?”.
How much information should my ORCID record have? This is a question I'm often asked by researchers when I discuss ORCID and the process of registering. … Do I have yet another profile to maintain? I want to talk about this not just because it is a frequently asked question, but also because it gets at some of the affordances and reasons for ORCID.
A minimal ORCID record is very quick and easy to create, 30 seconds. This is enough to get an iD and use it in research workflows
Minimal record will show nothing public except for name and identifier. This page clearly isn’t very useful because when we arrive here we are left with the question “Which John Smith?”. However, the owner of this id is still able to login as part of verified workflows and use his id. He may wish not to add works to his profile but should he choose to do so then it will be easy and automatic via the round-trip described earlier – a simply matter of approving
While a minimal ORCID record facilitates the use of an ORCID iD, there are reasons to add a little more information. Perhaps two key reasons are 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, and 2) Provide other identifiers so that ORCID can act as a switchboard to connect your identities in different systems.
With just a little more information added, we stand a very good chance of disambiguating this John Smith from another.
There are many import wizards which not only allow connection of an ORCID record to other identifies, and also import of works, grants, etc.. Users may also enter works themselves.
A key feature of the ORCID UI is grouping of duplicate work records based on work identifier (e.g. DOI). This allows multiple to work records from different sources to be stored, updated without overwriting each other, and yet the user may select the preferred one to view.
We all have many identifiers in many different systems and a key functionality provided by ORCID is that of a hub, a way to link these different identities together. It is also a hub for linking personal identity with identifiers for works, grants, patents, etc..
Here we se different segments of the ORCID community and some example identifier that are important. ORCID APIs enable data exchange between research information systems between all of these communities.
ORCID supports a number of wizards that connect to other systems such as Scopus, ResearcherID and ISNI. Cornell Library developed and integration with VIVO that is supported in a number of installations including our own. Links to systems not currently recognized a person or name identifiers can be added as website links too – I choose to link my github page for example.
Of course, the information shown on the ORCID page is also available in machine readable form too, with easy ways to access.
The Sloan Foundation funded ORCID integration with the VIVO open-source semantic-web research profiling system originally developed at Cornell and now under the DuraSpace umbrella. Here I show our VIVO instance at Cornell where I have linked my profile to my ORCID record. Such integration is now available “out-of-the box” as part of the core VIVO software.
One can link an ORCID with the Thomson Reuters ResearcherID system and import works. The ORCID is displayed also on the ResearcherID profile.
Similarly there is a Scopus import wizard which allows linking between an ORCID and a Scopus ID. The ORCID is displayed on the Scopus profile page.
With and ORCID on your mug it will always be traceable back to you. Thanks for listening!
