Grant submissions

• ORCID IDs are ISNIs

• Identical structure and check digit calculation

• Reserved range supplied to ORCID and cannot be applied by the ISNI system

• ORCID using SRU API into ISNI

• Reciprocal technical representation

• Horizon 2020 project THOR includes ISNI/ORCID interoperability piece

• La Trobe wants to populate ORCID from ISNI

• ISNI’s mission is to link to all ids and ORCID is one of those base ids


• Loaded to ISNI from Institution Repository• Half identities were matched and assigned; needed no more effort to

identify, disambiguate, link• data matched an independent source• name is unique

• The other half were sorted into faculty and other• All records relating to faculty have been reviewed, enriched and

assigned (working with the ISNI Quality Team)

• They are both an ISNI and ORCID member and would like to• load from ISNI to ORCID• invite researchers to verify before a certain date; afterwards the

ISNI/ORCID link will be affirmed and ORCID will be enriched with ISNIs and metadata including links to resource entities


• Goals

• Enhanced interface from ORCID to ISNI to claim works data and IDs

• BL will help to “establish interoperability” between identifiers

• Using expertise with the ISNI matching processes

• Subcontract with ISNI Assignment Agency

• Target key data, e.g. EThOS and ETOC

• ISNI organisation IDs links to ORCID

• Develop ORCID ID and ISNI researcher ID 1-1 links at scale

ISNI & Project THOR


http://project-thor.eu/the-thor-mission/

• Co-leader of the ISNI Quality Team

• Representing CENL on ISNI Board

• Data contributor

• JISC Names, ODIN, British Library Sound Archive, ZETOC, EThOS, LC/NACO

• Registration Agency for the UK

• Research Project with OCLC Research on researcher clustering

British Library role in ISNI


• Universal in scope

• Public domain focus

• Multiple links

• Hub ID – striving to link to all significant existing IDs

• Linking among identities, e.g. affiliations, organisation hierarchies

• Linking to created resources

• Third party input and curation

• Organisations can manage their own data, e.g. La Trobe

• ISNIs are disseminating links and connections beyond science databases towards publishers and research information systems
