ORCID Update & Other Researcher Identifiers (2011 Annual Meeting)
The document discusses ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), a nonprofit organization working to create a global registry of researcher identifiers and profiles. It notes that ORCID has over 275 participating organizations and aims to uniquely identify individual researchers and link them to their contributions, such as publications, datasets, and patents. The document outlines ORCID's 10 principles, key constituents, timeline and development progress, and compares ORCID to other researcher identification initiatives.

- 3. 10 Principles 1. ORCIDwill work to support the creation of a permanent, clear and unambiguous record of scholarly communication by enabling reliable attribution of authors and contributors. 2. ORCID will transcend discipline, geographic, national and institutional, boundaries. 3. Participation in ORCID is open to any organization that has an interest in scholarly communications. 4. Access to ORCID services will be based on transparent and non-discriminatory terms posted on the ORCID website. 5. Researchers will be able to create, edit, and maintain an ORCID ID and profile free of charge.
- 4. 10 Principles 6. Researchers will control the defined privacy settings of their own ORCID profile data. 7. All profile data contributed to ORCID by researchers or claimed by them will be available in standard formats for free download (subject to the researchers' own privacy settings) that is updated once a year and released under the CC0 waiver. 8. All software developed by ORCID will be publicly released under an Open Source Software license approved by the Open Source Initiative. For the software it adopts, ORCID will prefer Open Source. 9. ORCID identifiers and profile data (subject to privacy settings) will be made available via a combination of “no charge” and “for a fee” APIs and services. Any fees will be set to ensure the sustainability of ORCID as a not-for-profit, charitable organization focused on the long-term persistence of the ORCID system. 10. ORCID will be governed by representatives from a broad cross-section of stakeholders, the majority of whom are not-for-profit, and will strive for maximal transparency by publicly posting summaries of all board meetings and annual financial reports.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Thank you for giving me the opportunity to update you on ORCID and the many researcher identifier initiatives out there.
- #3 Here is our goal…
- #4 We have publicly announced our 10 principles. They govern everything that ORCID does.
- #6 While working on ORCID, I have learned that there are three times when researchers seem to care the most about their researcher identity…This marries up well to the three main constituents of ORCID: Academia, Funders, Publishers.
- #8 Here are some of our newest participants: Highwire, BMJ Group, Frontiers and Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
- #9 We are seeing about 12 new participants every month. Academic institutions are the fastest growing segment.
- #10 We currently have 276 participants from 40 countries. 111 participants from 19 countries are from Europe, compared to 118 from USA/Canada, or 40% each.
- #12 Every progress report deserves a Gantt chart. You can see that 2010 was mostly dedicated to establishing the not-for-profit organization, defining our principles and scope, and testing some preliminary (alpha) software.
- #13 2011 is about building the system and defining the business using sponsorship to stay afloat. If all goes well we will have our first phase system ready in early 2012 in time for the ORCID board to take a decision about going live. This is a big decision as once we start registering ORCIDs, we are committed to making them persistent.
- #14 Here is the main way in which we see publishers and their authors interacting with ORCID. This will allow publishers to light up all of those author links with information about authors.
- #17 (Credit: Geoff Bilder)ORCID will ultimately combine the strengths of self-asserted, socially-validated, and organizationally-asserted identity systems.self-asserted identity systems are familiar to us from the internet, where most non-commerce systems are self-asserted. In other words, the subject chooses what to say about themselves. In ORCID- researchers will be able to edit and manage their own profiles.socially-validated identity systems work by exploiting others in the network to provide a check on self-assertion. So, for instance, popular technical advice sites like “Stack Overflow” use peers to check and validate advice given by other members of the community. ORCID- being an system open to all researchers- will enable researchers to inspect each others claims and assertions. organizationally-asserted identity are the gold standard of identity, in that they are considered to be the most reliable- but also the most expensive to run (think DMV or passport office). Still ORCID will also encourage organizations to make assertions about researchers as well, such as:a) Brown University asserts that Josiah Carberry is a faculty memberb) Mellon Foundation asserts Josiah Carberry was awarded a grantc) Nature asserts that Josiah Carberry was the author of this paperBy exploiting the best of these different identity approaches- we aim to distribute the work of disambiguation and quality control amongst all the major ORCID stakeholders.

- #19 Credit: Geoff Bilder ORCID will start with self-claims and organizationally-asserted claim sources as we begin to build our Claim Store.
- #20 Credit: Geoff Bilder
- #29 There are many silo initiatives: subject specific, government-sponsored, society specific. Most if not all have value. Let’s look at a few.
- #31 Almost every society has some kind of name project under way. It is not a surprise to see that many societies are ORCID participants. Martin Fenner, the chair of the ORCID Outreach Group is writing a comprehensive article about Researcher Identifiers. You can follow his progress via his blog. If you know of others, please send them to me or Martin Fenner.
- #32 ORCID plans to be the one to bridge the other scholarly author identification systems by registering the identifiers of all other relevant standalone services (silos big and small)
- #33 So what makes ORCID different?
- #34 Thank you!
