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?
