[IRTalk] Organization Identifier Working Group: Update

[Ina Smith]

The Organization Identifier (OrgID) Working Group<https://orcid.org/content/organization-identifier-working-group> was established as a joint effort by Crossref, DataCite and ORCID<https://orcid.org/blog/2016/10/31/organization-identifier-project-way-forward> in January 2017. The members of the group bring a broad range of experience and perspectives, including expertise in research data discovery, data management, persistent identifiers, economics research, funding, archiving, non-profit membership organizations, academia, publishing, and metadata development.

The Working Group was charged with refining the structure, principles, and technology specifications for an open organizatoin identifier registry to facilitate the disambiguation of researcher affiliations.

The group has been working in three interdependent areas: Governance, Registry Product Definition, and Business Model, and today releases for public comment its findings and recommendations for governance and product requirements.
