I don't think that DC defines anything like ORCID IDs, does it? We
need a new (to DSpace, at least) namespace to represent new types.
Sorry to pounce on this with so little real information. I'm not a
metadata person, but I do understand that DSpace instances often
seriously bend DC, which is not open-ended. There is a proposal right
now to make DSpace's DC namespace immutable and clean it up, since
it's based on standards that DSpace doesn't own. I think it would be
best not to try to cram this into DC.
If this had landed in my lap, I would (a) ask if there is already a
DSpace-compatible namespace (not DC) which does or should define
ORCID/ISNI ID, and if not, (b) define it in a local namespace
(creating one if need be). It's easy to add or create metadata
namespaces in DSpace, so long as they are shaped like DC: {element [,
qualifier]}.
