ORCID is a service that attaches a persistent digital identifier to a specific researcher by linking his/her name with a resolvable internet address, also called an ORCID iD. This ID allows for a clear distinction between different researchers and makes it possible for one researcher to link all of their publications to their ID in an easy and straightforward manner.
DSpace as a software can be integrated with the ORCID database. When such an ORCID integration has been set up, the authority key field is leveraged to link the author to his ORCID iD. This patch extends the features that become available in DSpace once an integration with the ORCID database has been done.
The DSpace expanded-ORCID-support patch has been funded and contributed to the DSpace community by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). It was designed for use in conjunction with the Institutional ORCID Integration application released by the KAUST Library.
The patch has been developed and is maintained by Atmire, a registered service provider for DSpace.
