- 4. Background
- 5. Content identifiers: DataCite Crossref Contributor identifiers: ORCID Organisation identifiers: Gaps
- 12. Data
- 14. 75k
- 15. Test Data Preparation ● Normalise each dataset to a standard JSON format – Identifier, name, country (& code) ● Collect sample affiliation data – Use affiliation data from CrossRef & ORCID – Manually match affiliations against candidate datasets (benchmark dataset) ● Benchmark dataset contains 100 affiliations – Removed erroneous data, some repeats
- 17. Matching ● Take benchmark dataset of 100 affiliations ● Match each affiliation against each dataset – Search against a simple Elastic Search index – Use 2 approaches: “basic” and “institution” ● Generate reports for each dataset – Details of best match for each affiliation ● Generate overall summary across datasets ● Finally, produce weighted score – % coverage x % successful matches – Normalises for current dataset coverage
- 18. Testing
- 30. Summary
- 31. Findings • Good candidate seed datasets • Small data set • Relatively stable
- 34. The first rule of grant IDs is that they should not be called “grant IDs.”
- 35. • grants • endowments • secondments • loans use of premises/equipment • crowd-funding
- 45. API improvements

Editor's Notes
- #6: Turns out the third leg isn’t really working yet.
- #11: Org identifier seems to straight forward
- #12: How hard can it be? The rose-tinted view is that there is one canonical name, but we know that the name varies depending on the glasses you are wearing.
