This document summarizes updates on identity initiatives including ORCID and contributions tracking tools for Drupal websites. ORCID is developing an API to allow unique identification of scholarly authors and tracking of author-publication links. An IRISC workshop discussed challenges around unambiguous author identification and opportunities for ORCID and identity federations to collaborate. The document also describes plans to develop a Drupal module to enhance tracking of content contributions and link local user accounts to ORCID profiles.

Update on ORCID Phase 1 development
• Beta development well underway
• API specification documents:
http://orcid.org/twg
• Mock API Code for download:
https://github.com/orcid
• Early adopters now have
something hands-on to work
with
• Key API features
– Retrieve profile data in multiple formats
– OAuth authenticated read/write access

Outlook for ORCID in 2012
• Enough $$$ to start operations now secured, so organization is
hiring Executive Director, Technical Director & other staff
• Complete Phase 1 development and launch public beta service
– Focus on active researchers: register to populate own profile, select institutions
depositing profiles for their staff, API for interacting with external profile systems
• Flesh out Phase 2 development roadmap
– More extensive functionality: disambiguation, deposit profiles by non-institutional
3rd parties, record contributor roles, users to claim non-article published works
• Key challenges
– Phase 2 discussions in TWG at near-standstill recently - NEED full-time staff!
– ORCID Board politics
– Community outreach, to users and especially developers
– Support in journal MS tracking systems <-- main point of contact for academics

IRISC workshop summary, key points
• End user adoption of the ORCID identifier service and its future
expanded role
– Encourage developers to use ORCID API sandbox to build proof-of-concept apps
– Promoting benefits of scholary IDs and identifier infrastructure in the scientific
community
• Identity federations and interfederation services and their role
in research e-infrastructure
– Many issues relating to usability, outreach, privacy risks with releasing user data,
attribute harmonization, etc
• Opportunities for collaboration and interoperability
– ORCID-to-IDF connectivity - solution for ‘homeless’ & ‘nomadic’ researchers?
– Interest piloting IDF-based access management for biomedical data
– Best way to express a user’s ORCID author identifier as an IDF attribute

Contribution tracking for Drupal websites
• Currently, in a typical Drupal CMS installation
– Registered users have account on site (a local user ID)
– System tracks which users post which bits of content
– Reporting tools provided to see who posted what
• But poster is frequently NOT the person(s) who actually created
the work

Aim #1: Enhance provenance of site content
• Make it possible to
– link multiple local user IDs on Drupal site with content of certain types (nodes)
– browse, search & discover content based on “contributorship” information
– e.g. list all deliverables associated with Adam Webb
– e.g. which persons have contributed to deliverable XX
– Example of enriched attribution metadata:
– D9.3 Draft Report on Incentives [...]

Aim #2: enable linking to ORCID ID service
• Extend Drupal to add ORCID integration in order to:
– enable users to link their local user ID with an ORCID and
– submit author <-> publication assertions to central ORCID index
• How will this work?
– Button for signing in with ORCID (think “Sign in with Twitter”)
– User authorizes KC site to interact with ORCID on his behalf
• How will this be implemented?
– Build as a standalone Drupal module that any site can take and use
– Main targets: GEN2PHEN KC, BioSHaRE Mica platform, UoIceland inst. site

Key benefits / motivation
• General: enhanced visibility for contributors on community site
– Deliverable reports, dissemination activities, working papers, software etc.
– Who has contributed to what content
• ORCID-enablement
– NOT totally essential, BUT would support a range of important use cases, e.g.:
• Starting from ORCID site, discover a person’s GEN2PHEN/BioSHARE contributions and
learn more about the nature of those contributions
• Starting from GEN2PHEn/BioSHARE site, find the author’s primary scholarly profile on
IRCID and discover more of his/her works
• Use as a platform for experimenting with ID-based functionality
– Technical “nuts&bolts” of integration via the ORCID API
– Workflows for: authors assigning authorship via IDs, claiming authorship, etc.
– Capturing&displaying nature of contribution: author/analyst/curator/reviewer

Identifiers vs. locators
• Identification == crucial requirement for attributing credit
– Who contributed?
– What was contributed to?
• ORCID needs some sort of handle or pointer to the “stuff”
• URL location <-- workable for general content if no other option
– Internet location + some basic metadata to indicate what kind of content
• Example: http://www.le.ac.uk/~gt50/very_important_report.pdf
– Content moves => link is broken => users cannot access => BAD!
• Persistent identifier <-- vital for ‘proper’ scholarly record, long term
– DOI or other persistent identifer + copy of bibliographic info
– Identifier resolves to metadata record, link to location of content
• Example: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nbt1109-984b => ‘landing page’ on journal website
– Content moves => DOI metadata is updated => identifier points to new location

IDs in GEN2PHEN, 12-18 month outlook
• Continue to support (and influence) ORCID development
– TWG discussions, feedback on specs, piloting, promote at meetings etc.
• Contributor tracking and related work
– tooling potentially widely useful to many websites based on same CMS
– develop/promote, good progress achievable before end of GEN2PHEN
• WP9 - sustainability, incentivization for sharing
– Contributor IDs and resource IDs key components in BRIF
• ID-based data access management - need to continue to
investigate & liase with IDF community
• Repeat IRISC workshop
– Autumn this year, or maybe Q2 2013
• Beyond GEN2PHEN, Q3 2013 - ?
