That is, if they index repository contents into ORCID. At this time, I understand they will index material in CrossRef, or be given access to an API to CrossRef. Aggregating repository contents to be put in author disambiguation systems is not trivial. I speak from experience. I am running a system call AuthorClaim, where I allow authors to claim records. That is different from disambiguation. AuthorClaim is an open access system. Records are freely available for immediate use in bulk. I am using records from BASE to include repository contents. I have list of sources of repository data at http://wotan.liu.edu/base This shows what data is being used, the column on the right is the number of records to be included into the AuthorClaim. If you run a repository with scholarly contents, kindly check if your repository is listed, and that the number of records look roughly right. I am still in the process of reading records, but if a specific repository wants to have users test the AuthorClaim system I will be happy to have that repository jump the queue and process it ahead of others.
