Notes
- sameAs can be configured as supported or unsupported in VIVO. See VIVO v1.6 release planning
- ORCID can be configured for integration with the ORCID. See Activating the ORCID integration
- To add ORCID identifiers using RDF, assert the triple associating the personURI with orcidURI: <personURI> <vivo:orcidId> vivo:orcidURI ., where orcidURI looks like http://orcid.org/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
- Add a second triple to assert that the orcidURI is a thing: <orcidURI> vivo:orcidId owl:Thing .
- When these two triples are added for a person, the VIVO interface will report the ORCID as unconfirmed.
