[IRTalk] IR Software comparison by Unesco

[Nason Bimbe]

Hi Ina,
I don't know anyone within the UK HE who has fully integrated ORCID into
DSpace, I can find out from Bram at Atmire if you need the information.
DSpace 7 is not out and I believe is scheduled for release in 2018. There
are plans to integrate ORCID once the upgrade to 6.1 at Institute of
Development Studies where I was reponsible for the DSpace but I have now
left to go freelance.

I am happy to help if need be. I did work with the late Hilton a lot and I
do miss his contributions.

Thanks
Nason
