As Aries begins work with the first ORCID code release, we ask you to send us sample scenarios and suggestions. Incorporating “use cases” from multiple EM customer perspectives will help target our development efforts. Following are some questions to consider:

• Should EM facilitate claiming an ORCID by a user?
• Would you like to encourage/mandate entry of author and/or co-author ORCIDs?
• Would you like EM to use ORCID as the basis of “single sign-on”?
• Should the entry of an ORCID automate the completion of the EM people record?
• Should EM automatically, periodically update a person’s record in EM by polling ORCID for new contact data?
• Should an authorized editor be able to remove/edit a user’s confirmed ORCID in EM?
• Should we be considering other identifiers such as ISNI?
