Technically speaking, this is a link relation type, as defined in RFC 8288 [1].

[1]: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8288#section-2.1

A registry is at:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/

[2]: https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary#address
[3]: https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary#uri

With the existing RFCXML vocabulary, in the content model (“schema”) for 
<address [2], we would turn the 

uri?

…into

uri*

and add a rel attribute to the content model for <uri [3]:

<uri rel="me">https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9527-7181</uri>

I’ll leave it to the Web Linking connoisseurs to dig out the right relation 
type (or to register another one for this specific purpose).

Of course, I’d prefer the URI to be in an href attribute, but that’s not how 
RFCXML was defined.

Grüße, Carsten
