Technical development in ODIN
•ODIN ≠ infrastructure creation project! Output is roadmaps, technical reports, prototypes etc.• Proof-of-principle implementations• British Library: use and citation of social sciences
data, long-running British Birth Cohort Studies•CERN: attribution in high-energy physics - dealing
with large no. of authors on HEP papers & datasets
• Plus ORCID EU “Labs” mini-projects in WP4 Interoperability

Linking contributors and datasets
Embedding ORCiDs in data centre workflows
Prospective - long term aim
ODIN 1st year conference, CERN, Oct 17th 2013
Linking contributors and datasets
Embedding ORCiDs in data centre workflows
Prospective - long term aim
Ad hoc claiming of already published datasets
Retrospective - necessary now and for quite some time
ODIN 1st year conference, CERN, Oct 17th 2013
Some terminology
• “claiming” = asserting that one has authored or otherwise contributed to a published work• “Person X authored this paper or book”• “Person Y created this dataset”• “Person X had role W in the generation of this dataset
and contributed Y and Z”
• Focus here on self-claims - claims by contributors themselves about their works
ODIN 1st year conference, CERN, Oct 17th 2013
Doing it: DataCite2ORCID
• Existing resources available to build on• CrossRef Metadata Search tool http://search.crossref.org
•DataCite search API•ORCID Member API
• Technical approach• Create simple standalone, loosely coupled tools• Reuse search facility for DataCite search API• Add several functionality and UI tweaks
• Aim: to get work metadata into the user’s ORCID profile

This stuff isn’t nuclear physics
• Lots of resources available• Easy to build useful
3rd-parth service
•Where there’s will there’s a way
ODIN 1st year conference, CERN, Oct 17th 2013
Challenges, obstacles, next steps
•Metadata quality and consistency• DataCite vs. CrossRef vs. ORCID
• From links to semantics - capture nature of the dataset-to-contributor relationship
•ORCID Working Groups are discussing these and related issues•Q: how can we best align with and reuse/adapt existing
standards & community ontologies/vocabularies?
ODIN 1st year conference, CERN, Oct 17th 2013
Not yet another standard please!

The open source advantage
• Key building blocks•Generic - Sinatra webapp framework, OmniAuth
authentication framework, >dozen more•Domain-specific - CrossRef Metadata Search app,
omniauth-orcid Ruby gem
• Reuse/Remix/Extend to build new things•ORCID is taking advantage of open source• https://github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Source• http://orcid.org/about/community/orcid-technical-community
