Working together to make ORCID work for repositories: ORCID in repositories task force

During last year's OR2018 conference, a talk (by the author of this proposal) about the Evolution of ORCID in repositories (https://orcid.figshare.com/articles/OR2018_Evolution_of_ORCID_in_Repositories/6450752) acknowledged significant challenges exist in making ORCID useful to the repository community and called for the formation of a task force charged with defining common community needs around ORCID in repositories and publishing a set of recommendations to guide developers in designing and building ORCID features in repository software platforms. In the months following OR2018, the ORCID in Repositories Task Force became a reality, and its work resulted in a recommendation, which will be published in January 2019. This presentation will discuss the approaches and outcomes of the task force, as well as the next steps needed toward encouraging implementation of the task force recommendations
