*crosspost*
ORCID aims to solve the author/contributor name ambiguity problem in
scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique
identifiers for individual researchers and an open and transparent linking
mechanism between ORCID and other current author ID schemes. These
identifiers, and the relationships among them, can be linked to the
researcher's output to enhance the scientific discovery process and to
improve the efficiency of research funding and collaboration within the
research community.
*Relevance for DSpace*
If you are dealing with scholarly output in your repository, ORCID has the
potential of becoming a tool to deal with author disambiguation, an issue
many repository managers struggle with today.

Subject: [ORCID News] Updated ORCID Phase 1 Mock API Web Application
Released
To: [email protected]
Version 1.0.2 of the ORCID Mock API is ready for download from
Github<https://github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Mock-API-Web-Application>. This
version of the Mock API supports both the query and deposit/update APIs as
documented here:
- ORCID Phase 1 Query API Specification <http://goo.gl/ctWlR>
- ORCID Phase 1 Deposit/Write API Specification <http://goo.gl/MDob1>
Again, the MOCK API is not tied to a real database backend yet and only
serves static, sample responses. Still, this should be enough for third
parties to do the vast majority of integration development that they need
to do before the launch of the ORCID system later this year. The Github
README <http://orcid.github.com/ORCID-Mock-API-Web-Application/> provides
an overview of the changes, and the ORCID message schema documentation can
be found
here<http://orcid.github.com/ORCID-Mock-API-Web-Application/schemas/orcid-message/1.0/>
.
As before, we are looking for people to start working with this code as
soon as possible. Any comments, bug reports, etc. can be reported on
Github<https://github.com/organizations/ORCID/dashboard/issues>.
Comments, harassment, gripes and general moaning can be sent to
[email protected].
Kind regards,
Martin Fenner
