ORCID

[Christopher Gutteridge]

ORCID looks like it's here to stay as part of the bibliographic landscape.

If you've not yet encountered it, it's a ID scheme for people contributing to research output.  http://orcid.org/

It would be useful to describe how to use ORCID with bibo. I would suggest that the URI representing an author should not be an ORCID URI as an authorship generally has a distinct way the authors name appeared on the paper/publication rather than their "canonical name". I think the best way is probably to do it with a sameAs and leave it to the consumer to treat them as the same or not.
