[CODE4LIB] ORCID

[Bigwood, David]

ORCID provides an API that can be queried by ORCID or institution name (I 
think). Has anyone written code to query the API on a regular basis to pull 
down articles by their faculty? Is it something you'd care to share? I've not 
the faintest idea of a way to write an API query.

Thanks,

Hi David, 
Our beta version of our Civil Space staff profiles is pulling from ORCID (not 
sure why it's not live yet). We're a consortium member which was only necessary 
to be able to add to the profiles (we migrated data from ResearcherID).

I didn't do the programming myself- it was done by developers here. If you use 
R, you might consider: https://ropensci.github.io/rorcid/ . The developer 
documentation is pretty good, too: 
https://support.orcid.org/hc/en-us/articles/360006897174

What language were you thinking about (like Python or R or ... ???)

Re: [CODE4LIB] ORCID

Seconding rorcid -- Scott regularly updates it! 

You can see a few code examples at 
https://members.orcid.org/api/resources/code-examples -- but n.b. that it's a 
bit out of date in terms of using older versions of the ORCID API. rorcid has 
kept up to date, however. 

Ideally you'd first gather the ORCID iDs via the API, by having the user sign 
into their ORCID account and authenticate with the application (using e.g. the 
free ORCID public API). If memory serves rorcid supports this use. The ORCID 
development team also has created a simple iD connection application at: 
https://orcid-create-on-demand.herokuapp.com or if you'd prefer OIDC: 
https://github.com/ORCID/orcid-openid-examples 

Finally, a plug for the ORCID API users group -- a good place for sharing code 
examples and getting help. https://groups.google.com/group/orcid-api-users 

Warm regards, 
Alainna

Haven't used the ORCID API specifically, but most APIs are straightforward.
Depending on your exact needs, you might require an institutional ORCID
membership as the API capabilities are different.

We're looking at using ORCID for institutional purposes now. There are two
factors I can't wrap my mind around:

   1. Identifying ORCID IDs associated with the institution. It appears
   this requires individual researchers to formally make and and break
   associations
   2. Maintenance of the list of publications itself also requires
   affirmative action on the part of the researcher or member institution
   acting on their behalf

In other words, we'd need all our researchers and faculty to individually
do extra work and change the way they do things to meet the needs of the
system, and I see no basis for believing this is a reasonable thing to
expect.

[CODE4LIB] Archipelago Commons beta release 8.x-1.0-beta1 - check it!

[Nate Hill]

Hello Code4lib,

I'm pleased to announce that last night after a year of research and
development the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) released the
first beta of Archipelago, a new open source repository system. Tremendous
thanks to Diego Navarro, our lead developer on the project, as well as
Giancarlo Birello and many others.

https://github.com/esmero/archipelago-deployment

Over the course of the next three years, METRO is committed to building a
constellation of Archipelago repositories for our membership as a core
service: multi-tenancy is at the heart of the Archipelago concept. Most
importantly for those on this list, we will be working to build a robust
and healthy community of users and contributors. We hope that many of you
will deploy and use this architecture to suit your own unique use cases.

If you are already using open source repository software Samvera,
Islandora, or others... we invite you to take a look at this new
architecture, one that was fresh-built with a clean slate, from the ground
up. Archipelago is the result of years of our shared experience interacting
with myriad different systems.

If you deploy right now, you'll be able to work with:

   - Image/Images (1 or more sequences) with IIIF enabled
   viewer/Openseadragon and Simple HTML as formatters.  Archipelago managed
   images, External referenced Images or mixed.
   - Audio/Audios using HTML5 tags and subtitle tracks + future IIIF AV
   - Video/Videos using HTML5 tags and subtitle tracks + future IIIF AV
   - Panorama(s) via Panellum with hotspots that connect to any other DO.
   - Book(s) via IABR V4 using IIIF, either generated internally from
   Archipelago managed images, Internal IIIF manifest (via our twig template
   caster), External referenced Images or even an External Manifest URI too.
   - PDF(s) via IABR V4 using IIIF (we like the idea of unifying displays,
   no more PDF viewers v/s book viewers)
   - 3D Models. STL, OBJ via custom Three.js scripts.
   - much more coming with the next release

Explore it. Join our Google Group to learn more.
http://bit.ly/archipelago-list
I hope this system will be of great benefit to the GLAM community at large.

Thanks

Nate
