Hi, The ORCID v1 API that DSpace 5 and 6 use to look up author names during item submission is set to be decommissioned in "late 2017"[0]. This was briefly discussed in the June, 2017 DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT) meeting[1], and there is an open issue[2] on Jira tracking work to move to the new ORCID API in DSpace 6.3. Does anyone know how this will affect DSpace? For example, will the author lookup only return authors that are already in the local database, or will it break the lookup function entirely in some weird way? I suppose it could be tested by blocking access to the API endpoint or something...
Anyways, I'm partially just thinking out loud and partially trying to start a discussion. Thank you, [0] https://members.orcid.org/api [1] https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/cmtygp/DCAT+Meeting+June+2017 [2] https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3447 -- Alan Orth [email protected] https://picturingjordan.com https://englishbulgaria.net https://mjanja.ch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
