ROR and Organizational Identifier Interoperability in Publishing Systems [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Scholarly publishers already know the advantages of standardizing internal customer information with organization identifiers, but there are an increasing number of reasons for publishers to share organization data with other systems. ROR, a free and open CC0 dataset with a no-cost REST API, makes it easy for systems to exchange organization data for any and all purposes. Research Organization Registry (ROR) IDs are supported in and interoperable with an increasing number of systems that rely on free, open metadata. ROR is now preferred by Crossref in author affiliation metadata, for instance, and it is heavily used by the increasingly popular OA Switchboard. Many Open Access services rely on ROR IDs for institutional disambiguation, notably the national OA Monitor in Germany, the Journal Checker Tool created by cOAlition S, and the Wiley-owned software solution Oable. Also, national research policies and strategies are beginning to emphasize open infrastructure as well as Open Access: the UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, South Korea, and now the United States with the much-remarked-upon "Nelson memo" issued by the Office of Science and Technology Policy are all crafting policies that strongly encourage the use of open persistent identifiers. The Swiss National Science Foundation's new research funding application system uses ROR, as does the forthcoming research funding application system of the U.S. Department of Energy.
