orcid2vivo

About this fork

This fork includes some small modifications to the orcid2vivo script created by GWU's Justin Littman. Namely, URI generation is performed by generating a random number and calling the VIVO Query API to ensure it does not already exist. Additionally, the script has been changed to only create one new SKOS concept, journal, or publisher rather than numerous identical objects. Original readme below...

For example, to start:

(ENV)GLSS-F0G5RP:orcid2vivo justinlittman$ python orcid2vivo_service.py

The web form will now be available at http://localhost:5000/.

Invoke using curl

GLSS-F0G5RP:orcid2vivo justinlittman$ curl --data "orcid_id=0000-0003-1527-0030&format=turtle" http://localhost:5000/

Docker

The web application can be deployed to a Docker container.

GLSS-F0G5RP:orcid2vivo justinlittman$ docker build -t orcid2vivo .
GLSS-F0G5RP:orcid2vivo justinlittman$ docker run -e "O2V_ENDPOINT=http://vivo:8080/vivo/api/sparqlUpdate" -e "O2V_USERNAME=vivo_root@mydomain.edu" -e "O2V_PASSWORD=password" -e "O2V_NAMESPACE=http://vivo.mydomain.edu/" -p "5000:5000" -d orcid2vivo

The web form will now be available at http://localhost:5000/. (Note: If using boot2docker, use result of boot2docker ip instead of localhost.)

##Caveats:

• All data is not cross walked to VIVO-ISF.
• Not ready for production use.
• Password for SPARQL Update is not handled securely.

##Other:

• Feedback / tickets / pull requests welcome.
• Consider using with vivo-docker to put together an environment for experimenting with crosswalking ORCID to VIVO.
