I also note that: "ORCID uses OAuth to support authentication of the relationship between an individual and an ORCID record. When an individual creates a record, ORCID sends a verification email to that in the record. If a record is created by an individual's employer, ORCID will send a claiming email to the individual. In both cases, OAuth is used to authenticate the claim." -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk
