Description

[orcid](http://orcid.org/) is a DOI for researchers.

A new extension `ckanext-orcid` could link the user profile to the user's orcid, much like ckanext-doi links datasets to their DOI.

Initially this would strengthen the linkage between the CKAN user's research (orcid) and data publishing (CKAN) activities, and aid attribution.

Research direction

The proposal names a new ckanext-orcid extension and compares it with ckanext-doi. Start by reading ckanext-doi and CKAN's user-profile extension points, then clarify how an ORCID should be stored, displayed, and linked to research activity. Done requires an agreed scope and implementation plan for the extension.
