DESCRIPTION
The University of Missouri System and @mire are currently developing an integration between DSpace and ORCID, an infrastructure for persistent digital identifiers for researchers. The project pursues two distinct goals: Lowering the threshold to adopt ORCID for the members of the DSpace community ORCID offers an API, allowing developers to build points of integration between ORCID and third party applications. Today this still requires individual members of the DSpace community to implement front-end and back-end modifications to the DSpace source code in order to leverage these APIs. Because DSpace is meant as a turnkey Institutional Repository platform, not every institution using DSpace has software development resources available to implement this kind of functionality. By contributing a solution directly to the core DSpace codebase, this threshold to adopt ORCID functionality in DSpace repositories is effectively lowered. The ultimate goal is to allow easy adoption of ORCID without customization of the DSpace software, by allowing repository administrators to enable or disable functionality by means of user friendly configuration. Address generic use cases with appealing end user functionality This proposal aims to provide user friendly features for both repository administrators as well as non- technical end users of the system. The addition of ORCID functionality to DSpace should not come at the cost of making the system more difficult for administrators and end users to use.

The Problem
These were just a few uncommon
exceptions, right?NO.
WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?
Trust
Re-use of repository metadata
OBJECTIVE
Making it easy for repository managers to enhance and cleanup author metadata knowing that
Names are not reliable
Not everyone will have an ORCID
IMPLEMENTED FUNCTIONALITY
ORCID and DSpace Authority Control Integration
Author lookup for new submissions (UI)
Author lookup for edits on items (UI)
Author identifiers in Batch CSV editing
WHAT DSPACE ALREADY OFFERED
INTEGRATION
String representation of the name in standard Dublin Core metadata enhanced with DSpace compliant authority
control id
“authority cache” stores extended
contributor metadata, including ORCID ID and
alternative names
NEW SUBMISSIONS
Adding an author with an identifier should ideally be as easy as providing a simple name.
Indicates that author is in DSpace Authority control
Authors in red are in DSpace Authority Control
Authors in black are NOT in DSpace Authority Control
ITEM EDITS
Editing existing items should offer the same easy of use for administrators.
DSpace Authority
Control ID
Staff enhances contributor string names with ORCID
Administrator finalizes by re-uploading edited file
Administrator exports existing work metadata
Author identifiers in Batch CSV editing
SPREADSHEET EXAMPLE
Add ORCID identifier to spreadsheet for batch deposit of metadata into DSpace:“ORCID:dc.contributor.author”
Non-ORCID authors can still be imported: “dc.contributor.author”
SPREADSHEET EXAMPLE
ORCID authors are retrieved automatically, and the author’s name is displayed in DSpace
DSPACE 5 CONTRIBUTION
To be released as part of DSpace 5Scheduled for Fall 2014
Patches for earlier DSpace 4.x and 3.x:
will be made available for download throughatmire.com/website/?q=contributions
FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
Display ORCID identifier on item pages
Link to author ORCID profile
Add ORCID identifiers to Google Scholar <meta> tags
UI to manage DSpace Authority Control
