ORCID: A simple basis for digital data governance

The research community has lacked the ability to link researchers and scholars with their professional
activities. • Name variations:
§ Matthew J Buys, MJ Buys, M Buys, Matthew John Buys, 修 入, МэтьюБайс
• Institutional variations: § ORCID, ORCID Incorporated, ORCID Inc, ORCID
EMEA
Why is there a problem?
2
Algorithms cannot solve this
• Different versions (full name vs. initials)
• Shared names • Transliteration • ALT characters • Name changes • Multiple family names

Can names be cleaned up? Of course they can!
We need to use digital names: persistent identifiers that uniquely specify the person, organization, or
object to which a name refers
What do IDs do, exactly?
① Enable machine readability ② Disambiguate and enforce
uniqueness ③ Enable linking and data integration

ORCID is Open
• Non-proprietary and platform-neutral
• International service that integrates with other researcher identifiers
• Registry use is free for individuals
• Independent non-profit membership organization
• Open data, software, APIs, and documentation
• Discoverability of research activities in databases and institutional record management
• It is a challenge to find the unique researchers or institution without a unique persistent iD (ORCID)
• ORCID allows for simple searching of a specific iD and creates an authority record i.e. http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7234-3684
First challenge
7
• Output tracking, research reporting and impact assessment
• It is extremely difficult for an institution to conduct research evaluation without a unique persistent iD (ORCID) or an institutional iD
• Persistent IDs enable better research evaluation
and improved integrity of data in the digital research ecosystem

Institutional Challenge: Silo Systems

Solution: ORCID enables interoperability
10
ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from each other and links them to an organization identifier
ORCID record
And links activities… Professional activities (Education, Employment, Funding and Works) can be added by an individual or automatically by an ORCID member organization through the API – as well biography

• Provides systems to system connections
• (Semi-) automates flow of information
• Improves efficiency and reduces administrative burden
• Includes a persistent iD (ORCID iD) for uniqueness and interoperability (exchange of information between systems)

Data governance
Data governance refers to the management, availability, usability, integrity, and security of data ① Enable machine readability ② Disambiguate and enforce uniqueness ③ Enable linking and data integration
ORCID identifiers provide a
simple basis for digital data governance

The ability to uniquely identify contributors is a deceptively simple
concept which, if realised, could enable forms of real-time understanding of scientific research that up to now have
been extremely costly (if not impossible). --Jonathan Kram, Wellcome Trust
