Re: [CODE4LIB] orcid and researcherid and scopus, oh my
Thx Eric for sharing with code4lib-rarians what we started discussing during Italian lectures on semantic web and linked data [1] and in following emails. My experience about VIAFid and ISNI began when Paola Manoni (BAV) suggested me and my cataloguers at Pontificia Università della Santa Croce to add standard IDs to our authority records (personal names). Since we are using Koha [2], I wrote a simple but powerful tool/plugin that queries isni.org and suggests VIAFid and ISNI to store them in the authority record. It shows a comparison between ISBNs used in our catalog and ISBNs used by ISNI to cluster works under the same name. A comparison with titles is shown as well. Clicking a button, the cataloger adds ISNI and VIAF IDs to the authority record (MARC21, 024 subfield 2 and subfield a). We choose to store only VIAFid and ISNI because we consider them as important IDs. Other IDs can be retrieved starting from them in many ways: viaf.org offers a record view that contains only links [3] and services like Sameas [4] or sparql endpoints like DBpedia can be used too. When a good collection will be formed, we plan to publish our authority records in RDF. Triples with VIAF or ISNI URIs and the property owl:sameAs will therefore be very important to build links in the cloud of linked data. Bye.

[CODE4LIB] Job: Visiting Librarian, Open Publishing Fellow at Pacific University
Visiting Librarian, Open Publishing Fellow Pacific University Forest Grove The Pacific University Libraries are seeking an Open Publishing Fellow (OPF) to help lead the development and expansion of the Libraries' open access publishing services. The OPF will be actively engaged in exploring digital publishing models for open monographic content and in creating a strategy for promoting the use-and creation-of open textbooks and open educational resources within the Pacific University community. The OPF is expected to take a leadership role in these areas; the fellowship is not intended to provide training for the fellow, but rather an opportunity to directly inform and influence the direction of the Libraries' publishing program. Applicants with experience in digital publishing and/or the creation or use of open educational resources are encouraged to apply. August-November, 2014 (exact dates are flexible) Opportunities and Expectations: The Libraries intend to expand their publishing program to include the publication of scholarly and creative digital monographs. This will include monographs in traditional formats, but may also include multimodal texts and/or supplemental multimodal resources to accompany traditionally formatted texts. * The OPF will explore, and provide recommendations on, formats, platforms, and tools to enable the review and production of these types of works. Implementation of platforms/tools during the fellowship is not expected, but is encouraged. The Libraries have also identified open textbooks and other OERs as a priority for their publishing program. Developing and implementing strategies to encourage faculty to integrate existing texts/resources into their courses and to create original open texts/resources will be the focus of the Fellow's work in this area. * The OPF will collaborate with the Library Director and other relevant colleagues to develop an OER program with the goal of realizing student savings and pedagogical improvement through the replacement of high cost required texts with open resources. * The OPF will also develop recommendations for processes, technology, and support services that will encourage the creation of open textbooks/OERS by Pacific University faculty (to be published/distributed by the Libraries). There will be significant overlap between these two areas-the exploration of formats/platforms/tools for the review and production of monographic works and alternative supplemental materials in general should be directly applicable to Library-supported creation of open textbooks/OERS. Eligibility and Requirements: * The Open Publishing Fellowship is open to any applicant who is legally able to accept employment in the United States. * Applicants should have demonstrated experience with digital monographic publishing and/or the creation or use of open educational resources. * Preference will be given to applicants with strong technical skills (HTML, XML, Adobe products, etc.). * Experience working in academic libraries is not required. How to Apply: Applicants should submit their materials electronically to Debbie Pareria ( parer...@pacificu.edu), Assistant to the Director, Pacific University Libraries. Please indicate Open Publishing Fellowship in the subject line of email transmissions. ALL APPLICATIONS MUST INCLUDE: Curriculum vitae Names and contact information for at least two references One-page personal statement explaining your interest in the Fellowship and in open access publishing. Decision Timeline: The Pacific University Library Director and Scholarly Communication Research Services Librarian will review applications; finalists for the Fellowship will be invited to interview (virtually or in person) in June 2014. The Fellowship recipient will be announced July 1 2014. The Fellowship will start in August; the exact start date is negotiable. Compensation: The Fellow will receive a stipend of $3500 - $4000/month depending on demonstrated experience. This is four-month, non-benefit eligible position.

Re: [CODE4LIB] orcid and researcherid and scopus, oh my
Hi, Of course there are more identifier systems (or domains, if you will). Most/many authors in The Netherlands have a Digital Author Identifier (DAI), which is the record number in the GGC (Gemeenschappelijk Geautomatiseerd Catalogiseersysteem), or Shared Automated Catalogue system. The DAIs are assigned by (university) libraries and in the case of university libraries assigning/finding DAIs for their researchers, the DAI is usually linked to the employee in the repository. Following EduStandaard agreements [0] among all Dutch universities and some service providers like my employer DANS and the National Library of the Netherlands (KB), we can harvest the IRs and link publications to researcher profiles and show them in NARCIS [1]. [0]: http://www.edustandaard.nl/afspraken%20en%20architectuur/beheerde-afspraken / [1]: http://www.narcis.nl Setup as a service by a company called Pica, the GGC is now hosted by OCLC after Pica merged into OCLC [2]. The authority files for authors together are called the NTA ([Dutch Thesaurus Author names]). [2]: http://www.oclc.org/nl-NL/ggc.html OCLC is also hosting the ISNI database and VIAF (of course). VIAF, as you know, was setup as a crosswalk of authority files (including the NTA). OCLC are working on crosswalking identifiers, AFAIK. Please be aware that ISNI is a /name/ identifier. Pseudonyms and birth names for the same person (should) get different ISNIs. And, as said before, not only people can get ISNIs. Also, the business models for ORCID and ISNI are different. As a Linked Data aside, Eric, be aware of what an identifier identifies - and then how you make assertions using them. For example, ORCID doesn't use the hash or 303 pattern, so if you resolve http://orcid.org/-0002-9952-7800 you get a webpage, i.e. http://orcid.org/-0002-9952-7800 identifies a webpage (the same goes for DOIs, btw). That is why I say about myself (in Turtle): http://companjen.name/id/BC dct:identifier http://orcid.org/-0002-7023-9047; . instead of http://companjen.name/id/BC owl:sameAs http://orcid.org/-0002-7023-9047 . … for I am not a website. Linking me to things I make is done like so (Qualified DC): #thing dct:creator http://companjen.name/id/BC . In your example you used the identifiers as names for the creator(s); it is as meaningful as saying (in unqualified/simple DC): #thing dc:creator Eric Lease Morgan . Hope this helps :) Groeten van Ben On 05-06-14 00:14, Stuart Yeates stuart.yea...@vuw.ac.nz wrote: Others have made excellent contributions to this thread, which I won't repeat, but I feel it's worth asking the question: Who is systematically cross walking these identifiers?

Re: [CODE4LIB] orcid and researcherid and scopus, oh my
I learned about ORCID at the VIVO conference last August, and followed up by attending the ORCID Community Outreach meeting two weeks ago. At UCLA, we see ORCID as a key service to name disambiguation. The ORCID organization works effectively with all the constituents by defining roles appropriately. First, each researcher controls her own ORCID, and can limit the exposure of attributes on the orcid.org site. When a research organization assign an ORCID to their community of researchers (outlined below), each assignee can opt out if they so choose. This feature alone will help us sell the program to our faculty. Publishers have a critical role. An increasing number of them are accepting ORCIDs and including them in the article metadata. When publishers expose this metadata attribute, finding an author means following a link rather than executing a disambiguation algorithm. Finally, research organizations can pull these elements together for their community of researchers. UCLA signed up for a creator membership, which will allow us to bulk assign ORCIDs for all of our researchers. We are starting with faculty, but may extend it to graduate students in the future. We are implementing a Drupal module to manage the process. We will create Drupal accounts for faculty, and use a drush script (Drupal scripting) to assign ORCIDs using a file of faculty campus IDs. The script will create a Drupal account, call the ORCID APIs to search for an existing ORCID, create a new one when necesssary, and add the ORCID as an attribute of the faculty Drupal account. Faculty members will be able to retrieve their ORCID from the Library's web site by authenticating via Shibboleth. We also plan to allow faculty and catalogers to add other IDs: Scopus and Researcher ID, LC Name Authority, and more. The point of all of this is to make these identifiers available to campus partners. The first two are Opus, a faculty information system being developed by the Academic Personnel Office, and CDL's implementation of Symplectic Elements to support the open access policy. I also hope to convince our campus Shibboleth IdP to add ORCID as a new attribute. I am writing this message from DrupalCon in Austin. Yesterday, our contractor met with a programmer from Argonne National Laboratory who is working on a Drupal lmodule with more complete ORCID API support. Those efforts will be merged so anyone using Drupal will have a set of modules to support their requirements. --Gary (Sorry for the length of this response.

If there is really an appetite to continue DAIs going forward, the wikipedia support for identifiers is modula and there's no reason not to add more identifiers. cheers stuart On 06/05/2014 11:06 PM, Ben Companjen wrote: Hi, Of course there are more identifier systems (or domains, if you will). Most/many authors in The Netherlands have a Digital Author Identifier (DAI), which is the record number in the GGC (Gemeenschappelijk Geautomatiseerd Catalogiseersysteem), or Shared Automated Catalogue system. The DAIs are assigned by (university) libraries and in the case of university libraries assigning/finding DAIs for their researchers, the DAI is usually linked to the employee in the repository. Following EduStandaard agreements [0] among all Dutch universities and some service providers like my employer DANS and the National Library of the Netherlands (KB), we can harvest the IRs and link publications to researcher profiles and show them in NARCIS [1].

The authority files for authors together are called the NTA ([Dutch Thesaurus Author names]). [2]: http://www.oclc.org/nl-NL/ggc.html OCLC is also hosting the ISNI database and VIAF (of course). VIAF, as you know, was setup as a crosswalk of authority files (including the NTA). OCLC are working on crosswalking identifiers, AFAIK. Please be aware that ISNI is a /name/ identifier. Pseudonyms and birth names for the same person (should) get different ISNIs. And, as said before, not only people can get ISNIs. Also, the business models for ORCID and ISNI are different. As a Linked Data aside, Eric, be aware of what an identifier identifies - and then how you make assertions using them. For example, ORCID doesn't use the hash or 303 pattern, so if you resolve http://orcid.org/-0002-9952-7800 you get a webpage, i.e. http://orcid.org/-0002-9952-7800 identifies a webpage (the same goes for DOIs, btw). That is why I say about myself (in Turtle): http://companjen.name/id/BC dct:identifier http://orcid.org/-0002-7023-9047; . instead of http://companjen.name/id/BC owl:sameAs http://orcid.org/-0002-7023-9047 . … for I am not a website. Linking me to things I make is done like so (Qualified DC): #thing dct:creator http://companjen.name/id/BC .

None of them, except maybe the LibGuides, is really a technical problem, and I'm wondering if this panel will actually be a forum for talking about organizational dysfunction that often results when new technologies are integrated rather than discussing the technologies themselves.
