DSpace Lab Days

DSpace Lab Days is a monthly series of online meetings designed for the professional exchange of knowledge and experience regarding the implementation and use of the DSpace system. The format of the meetings is flexible: from short lectures and expert panels, through case studies and Q&A sessions, to practical hands-on workshops. The meetings are addressed to members of the DSpace Poland National Group and all repository administrators, digital libraries, developers, and project managers interested in increasing the visibility of scientific achievements through DSpace.

The meetings are primarily addressed to members of the DSpace Poland National Group, but are open to all interested parties. In particular, we also invite repository and digital library administrators, developers, project managers, and anyone interested in the DSpace repository.

DSpace Lab Day #6

Author identifiers are the backbone of connected research infrastructure and ORCID is at the heart of it.

In this edition of DSpace Lab Days, we are joined by Paloma Marín-Arraiza from ORCID to explore how ORCID iDs and the ORCID Member API empower research discovery and connect researchers with their work across repositories.

The session is structured in two parts: first, a conceptual and strategic overview of what ORCID offers and why it matters for institutional repositories, then a live demonstration of how the ORCID integration works inside DSpace – from pulling author data into a record to using it as a starting point for building a person’s CRIS profile.

What you will learn:

  • What ORCID is and why author identifiers matter for research visibility and repositories,
  • How the ORCID integration is configured inside DSpace: submission workflow, metadata fields, authorization,
  • How author data is retrieved from ORCID in practice: a live walkthrough inside a running DSpace instance,
  • How the ORCID Member API supports repository integrations and connected research information,
  • What institutions gain from connecting their DSpace to ORCID – richer author profiles, less manual data entry, and a foundation for building a CRIS.

Agenda

  • Welcome and introduction,
  • ORCID overview – the Member API and what author identifiers enable for repository integrations,
  • Live demo – ORCID integration in DSpace: configuration, automatic data retrieval, building a person’s CRIS profile,
  • Common questions and concerns from institutions implementing ORCID,
  • Q&A and open discussion.
