I've been poking around in DSpace 5 and ORCIDs don't seem to be stored anywhere in the database. They only seem to turn up in the Solr authority index. They don't appear in the Solr discovery (search) index.
So my guess at this point is that the ORCID and some information from the ORCID database at orcid.org is saved in the authority index as a result of the choice made when submitting an item or editing it's metadata. Furthermore, the choice management method is the only way to get ORCIDs into DSpace. So submission forms, work flows, and metadata editing in the UI are the only ways to enter this data. I suppose this also means that if you ever delete the authority index and rebuild it from scratch, much of the data associated with an authority record will be lost. This is why there is no -b option for the bin/dspace index-authority command. Am I correct or am I missing something? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
