ORCID and other researcher IDs

Open Issues

1. What solutions can we envision for the NIH/NLM SciENcv Federal-Wide Researcher Profile Project?
2. Which institutions have (or could develop) ties between their researcher profile initiatives and their IAM teams?
3. One or multiple Researcher Identifier attributes?
4. What is the role of the Institutional IdP?
5. Who owns the institutional processes around ORCID (and/or other researcher identifiers)?
6. Use cases
   1. SP wants a specific identifier
   2. SP wants the full set of researcher identifiers the IdP can assert
7. Do ORCID and other researcher identifiers belong in the R&S (Research and Scholarship) attribute bundle?
