Description: The Research Organization Registry (ROR) is a community-led project to develop an open, sustainable, usable, and unique identifier for every research organization in the world. In this talk, we introduce ROR to the Library Carpentry community.
Description: Back in February, we announced the launch of the Research Organization Registry (ROR). During Open Hours, with the help of guest speaker Maria Gould, we ask some questions about current practices and needs around affiliations.
Description: ROR (Research Organization Registry) is a community-led project to develop an open, sustainable, usable, and unique identifier for every research organization in the world. The scope of ROR is the affiliation use case—to unambiguously identify which organizations are affiliated with which research outputs. In this lightning talk, we highlight the crucial role of the ROR community by sharing details about the makeup and expertise of the ROR Community Advisory Group, the ways in which we work with community advisors to get input on the registry’s curation policies and technical implementation, and the role of the community in ROR’s future.
Description: ROR is a community-led project to develop an open, sustainable, usable, and unique identifier for every research organization in the world. In this talk, we describe the aims of ROR, share the first prototype, and explain how the community can get involved in the next stages of the project.
Description: Dryad, like many other initiatives in this space, has a big problem: we can’t find institutional affiliations for data publications. And with this missing corpus, we are missing opportunities like institutional involvement and open source reporting on research data. Enter, Research Organization Registry (ROR)! A community led project to develop a unique identifier for every research organization in the world. With this open infrastructure, we believe we can trace back and map research output by institution for Dryad datasets. By bringing organizational identifiers into a platform like Dryad, we can think about interconnecting PIDs and improving our metadata. Let's discuss how we can harness the power of organizational PIDs to help locate these buried treasures that will allow for us to address long standing and urgent needs for institutions, libraries, and researchers.
Description: ROR is the Research Organization Registry, a community-led project to develop an open, sustainable, usable, and unique identifier for every research organization in the world. We are building open, stakeholder-governed infrastructure for research organization identifiers and their associated metadata, and we've just released a working prototype that's ready for people to use. Join us for a fun and interactive session exploring the challenges with organizational identifiers and how ROR is addressing them.
Description: ROR's first stakeholder meeting, held just before PIDapalooza in Dublin, invites all those who've followed the progress of the Org ID Working group to come together to discuss ways to make an open organization identifier a reality.
