Ready to ROR: Planning for research organization identifiers in the Carolina Digital Repository

The Carolina Digital Repository (CDR) is planning an implementation of Research Organization Registry (ROR) identifiers in our institutional repository, with the goals of unambiguously identifying Works affiliated with our institution in DataCite as well as improving funder metadata in our local system to better support funder requirements. Our poster will provide a brief introduction to ROR, describe the impetus for exploring ROR at the CDR, and outline how the CDR currently uses persistent identifiers. We'll explain the proposal we developed for integrating ROR into the repository, the resources and other implementations that were referenced, the problems we are hoping to solve, and next steps for implementation.
