@Dieuwertje Bloemen was this something you talked about in our UX Design meeting - hyperlinking authors to find all authors' works?
Yeah, we discussed it when we talked about showing the ORCIDs in the metadata block in a different way and if it's valuable to link to an author search. The idea is kinda based on a presentation I saw at Open Repositories this year by Herbert Van de Sompel and his colleagues (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12579438), where they mentioned the concept of "authorIDy" (https://signposting.org/authorIDy/) as part of signposting, I believe. Which is exactly that: being able to search on an author identifier in a repository, which would be a great help in harvesting relevant (metada)data for institutions who wish to catalogue all their output.
In the UX WG it came up when we talked about visualising links in the author metadata (link to their ORCID, to their ROR and possibly to such a search).
Hello there,
We are planning to implement this feature, but only for keywords for now (also as a test of the interest for the feature globaly), I added the mock-up in the issue, I'd be very happy to have the UX-WG opinion on the approach and mock-ups to :grinning:
