The source of the affiliation information will also influence this as affiliations can be added by trusted parties (if permission was granted) and trusted parties can choose which organisational ID type to add when sending the affiliation information to ORCID In XML. So if their system integration is set up to always send one type of organisational identifier that might influence the proportion of that type of identifier.
Interestingly, the organisational information is not linked to the identifier (or derived from it) but also depends on what the source sends about the organisational information details – this allows some control to the organisation managing the integration, but also seems to be a slightly missed opportunity to use the organisational identifier to bring consistency and accuracy to organisational data……..

For entries submitted by a user through the web interface – will there be two entries for each organisation one mapping to GRID and one to Ringgold? Or is there a default (choice of one of the identifiers) with only one entry per organisation in the drop-down? I recall some organisations had more than one entry due to departments etc ……..
So the proportion of ringgold : Grid could be down to how many are entered by the user through the web interface compared to written by a trusted party through the API. Some users could also have both versions as the two options are not mutually exclusive?
