Identify User Group Meeting
2016
The Thing, Inside the Thing(s)
Ringgold’s Mission
to provide identifiers and
structured data to power the
efficient exchange of information
throughout the scholarly
research community
...and beyond.
Introductions:
• Round table introductions
• New Customers: Fed Gov’t of Portugal; Kudos; Brill; Gale Cengage; Plum
Analytics; University of Sydney; 1Science; ASCO coming soon… OECD,
Gov’t/NGOs
• Emergence of new data applications– we’re still providing what we
always have, the market is finding new uses, and new sectors of the
research community is realizing they need Authoritative Institution
information
• A common new application: Author Affiliation
• Our customers are so smart– many in this room have been using PIDs
before PIDs were cool (#PIDapalooza) – Iceland, late November…for real
Updates from Ringgold
• IDO v2
• Mapping Open Funder Registry Data to Ringgold Identify
• Using ProtoView to create author affiliations
• GeoLocation Codes to be included in Identify (release w/ or shortly
after IDO v2)
• Altname handling: Proper coding of Altnames + new deprecation
protocol to deal with historical data (changes)
• Working w/ PSI – mapping our datasets together to allow
crosswalking
• Delta File: Better data governance with respect to changes in the data
Solving Problems: Linking author and
institution IDs
• When authors and their affiliations are linked
correctly, publishers gain:
• Market intelligence about authors and institutions
• Author and subscriber information mapped together
• Knowledge of where research funding is concentrated
• Reduction in time taken calculating open access
charges (APCs)
• Resolve conflicts of interest (author & reviewer from
same inst)
• Institutions gain information about their overall
research output (CRIS systems)
• Funders gain information about where authors
reside and publish
Identify Ideas Workshop
• Objectives:
• What is Ringgold cooking?
• Understand what our customers want from an online interface to Ringgold’s Identify
e.g. what business intelligence should be accessible
• Export records
• Better navigation
• Visibility of your information
• Search & Refine against any data field – from Identify or from You

Questions:
• Tell us about your use cases –
• Who are your typical users?
• What are they trying to achieve?
• What questions are you asked that you don’t feel you can answer easily?
• At a higher level:
• Do you have strategic goals that this information can inform, and how can
we help you get there
Thank you

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Because the only thing that is certain as we develop is that our data about people/places/things, and the content itself, will continue to be created, transmitted and stored in a digital infrastructure, and be intercepted by a growing number of systems. We will want to analyze our data, and parse our content in more granular ways, which will only be effectively done if we future-proof it with the use of proper identifiers and metadata.
  • #4 Informal get together with our customers to talk about new developments at Ringgold, explore applications of the Identify database, and
  • #6 Let’s talk about the operational and strategic benefits of linked data – There are many more practical applications of this information than I have time to detail now, but a quick example is how Aries, CCC and Identify work together to allow the immediate calculation of APC fees, or content acquisition fees based on their affiliations We have solved a lot of problems, including those from the past– retroactive author affiliation is possible; if you’re working with ORCID, you should be in a position to affiliate institutions with authors of existing and historical publications
