Date & Time

This call is a DCAT Discussion call: identifying if there is common ground among call attendees around a particular piece of DSpace functionality.

Dial-in

We will use the international conference call dial-in. Please follow directions below.

Agenda: DCAT Discussion: Future of DSpace-ORCID integrations

There have been substantial developments since our last DCAT discussion on ORCID in December 2015.

One of the most significant developments is ORCID's transition to a new API, in which certain endpoints of the old API will be discontinued.

Service provider Arvo consultores has already announced a completed integration based on the ORCID v2 API   http://duraspace.org/articles/3187  The model is strongy based in the authority  model via external Authority database not via the SOLR core. Probably would be easy to translate, just ing out. A short video here:

Just to remember, Portuguese people (UMinho, etc) has made public some code for synchronization and ORCID libraries as well. https://github.com/fccn/PTCRISync/wiki/ORCID-Overview

Which common use cases do we have for ORCID-DSpace integrations?

It would be very fruitful if we could align on a set of ORCID-DSpace use cases that resonate widely within our community.

The use case: "looking up an author in ORCID and matching him/her to a string based author name on a publication" is one that is not supported by API v2 anymore and is concerned an anti-pattern: because the researchers control what they expose on their ORCID profiles, it is very common that you can not determine if you have the right person, based on the information exposed in the profile.

An in-depth discussion on this, and ways forward, would be great.

Preparing for the call

Bring your questions/comments regarding ORCID you would like to discuss to the call, or add them to the comments of this meeting page.

If you can join the call, or are willing to comment on the topics submitted via the meeting page, please add your name, institution, and repository URL to the Call Attendees section below.

Followup: face to face presentation and ORCID discussion in Geneva on June 20th

ORCID's Rob Peters and Josh Brown are kind enough to present at the DSpace user group day in Geneva on June 20th (right before the OAI conference)

https://indico.cern.ch/event/405949/page/4539-pre-conference-dspace 

The ideas, actions or questions from today's DCAT call could be used as input for that meeting.

Open Repositories 2017 preparation

Who on the call attendees is coming to the Open Repositories conference? 

Shall we meet there, formally or informally? Thoughts on topics that would really benefit from face to face discussions?

Meeting notes

List of prioritized DSpace-ORCID use cases

  1. Associate new publications with ORCID ids of all involved authors, with as little overhead as possible. Preferably supported in a way that doesn't involve any action from the researchers.
    1. It seems like Scopus feeds to no yet provide ORCID ids.
    2. Proquest feed for ETD starts to contain ORCIDs
    3. VT adds ORCIDs through symplectic, so when the record arrives in DSpace, the orcid is already associated.
  2. Identical to nr 1, but for older publications, already existing in the repository (backlog).
  3. Search for an ORCID with the standard DSpace search features, and retrieve a list of items associated with that ORCID. Both through the UI, as well as through the REST API
  4. Display ORCID badges or another form of link to the ORCID author profile, on item pages
  5. Push repository item metadata to the works section of an author's ORCID profile, so that the repository serves as a tool to automate the maintenance of a researchers ORCID works profile.
