[jats-list] ORCID ID Tagging and Best Practices

["techlist" <techlist.djs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear JATS List,

Recently we have been researching if there is a common practice for
adding ORCID IDs to earlier versions of the NLM DTDs (and specifically,
for Journal Publishing v2.3 and v3.0) for those publishers who do not
yet wish to migrate their content to JATS.

The online documentation for Journal Publishing Tag Library/NISO JATS
Version 1.0 shows <contrib-id>, with the definition being:

"One identifier for a person such as a contributor or principal
investigator. This element will hold an ORCID, a trusted publisher's
identifier, a JST (Japanese Science and Technology Agency) identifier,
or an NII (National Individual Identifier)."

And with an example using @contrib-id-type="orcid":

...
<contrib-group>
<contrib>
<contrib-id
contrib-id-type="orcid">http://orcid.org/1792-3336-9172-961X</contrib-id
>
<name><surname>Fauller</surname>
<given-names>Betty Lou</given-names>
</name>
<degrees>BA, MA</degrees>
</contrib>
</contrib-group>
...

Because <contrib-id> is not contained in the Journal Publishing v2.3 and
v3.0 tag sets, would anyone be able to suggest a best practice tagging
example for either of these cases?
