Online publishing services provider Semantico Ltd., UK, has announced its support for the open sourcing of the ORCID codebase onto GitHub.
Semantico shares and supports the core principles that drive the open-sourcing of the ORCID project – those of openness and community. The fully documented release of the ORCID codebase will promote the transparency of the project and build trust while engaging the broader scholarly community in improving and extending the standard.
ORCID is a non-profit community-based organisation that provides an open, international registry of unique and persistent identifiers for the research community. ORCID works with the research community to embed iDs into key workflows, such as grant applications, to support the automated linkage of research and researchers.
