Lack of incentives for sharing
• Effort required to prepare, package and submit datasets to public repositories
• Time better spent writing papers & grants
• All sticks (funders, journals) - no carrots
• Need incentives - treat data as publications
5
“[...] Many of the issues regarding data availability can be addressed if the principles of “publication” rather than “sharing” are applied. However, online data publication systems also need to develop mechanisms for data citation and indices of data access comparable to those for citation systems in print journals”

Or these?

• The basic identity problem the Internet poses is establishing one party’s identity to another party’s satisfaction through communication across the network.

[...] The overall aim of the proposed project is to understand how VIVO and ORCID could interact in the scholarly identity ecosystem. To this end, two main areas of work are planned. The first will focus on evaluating the VIVO project, the VIVO technology and its current/planned capabilities, with respect to the core ORCID mission and its technical requirements. Aims of this analysis include identifying overlaps and commonalities, and answering questions such as: should ORCID use/extend the VIVO ontology for semantic interoperability? Could some VIVO software components be reused/extended by ORCID? How would a researcher interact with ORCID through his/her institutional VIVO installation?
[...]
Given that a key aim of both VIVO and ORCID is the creation of an infrastructure that makes information about researchers and their scholarly works openly available, it would seem that VIVO and ORCID could both benefit from closer collaboration. Both projects already collaborate strategically, so the aim of this proposal is to foster a closer technological collaboration.

Technical development (OK, it’s hacking!)
[...] The aim [...] is to get hands-on experience with the VIVO software itself. This will be done by implementing several extensions to the VIVO platform to support a subset of important ORCID use cases, focusing on (but not limited to):
• Search for, retrieve and ingest bibliographical information from the CrossRef system
• Secure, OAuth-based exchange of both public and non-public researcher profile information between VIVO and an external profile system (e.g. MS tracking system)
Taken together, the outcomes of the project will at a minimum increase ORCID’s understanding of the VIVO technology,
