There are many ways of helping people make these connections &#8211; attending a conference or seminar, searching journals for published articles and nowadays also searching for data are just a few examples. For about 20 years now, one technology which has been helping to enable such discoveries is what are called &#8220;Persistent IDentifiers&#8221; or PIDs. These are unique labels which can be attached to a (scientific) object such as a journal article, a dataset or a researcher. The PIDs for the first two examples have become better known as DOIs (digital object identifier), the last is known as an ORCID. The PID is registered with a registration authority. Two of the oldest and \u00a0best known authorities are CrossRef for journal articles, funders (etc) and DataCite, who specialise in citable identifiers for data. The registration process includes creating and adding a metadata record to the PID, the record is then indexed and can then be used for searching for the objects. The terms of these metadata records are carefully controlled to use specified and standardised vocabularies to describe the objects (one current initiative in chemistry in this area is described here<span id=\"cite_ITEM-25918-0\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-25918-0\">[1]<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>\nThe PID &#8220;ecosystem&#8221; is constantly expanding and a recent addition is the ROR registration authority. This issues PIDs for research organisations, so that one can then easily associate a scientific object with the organisation where the research was conducted. The initial\u00a0focus for ROR PIDs was the traditional forms of organisation such as a university and company research labs. Here I tell about how a rather different type of organisation came to have its own ROR, the &#8220;World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists&#8221; or <a href=\"https:\/\/watoc.net\">WATOC<\/a>. The aims of WATOC are primarily to hold triennial congresses to promote scientific exchange and to help researchers make those connections through presentations, posters and numerous coffee breaks!<\/p>\n<p>Last July, the proposal for creating a ROR for WATOC was accepted by its decision making body and can now be announced as <a href=\"https:\/\/ror.org\/04rp40h82\">https:\/\/ror.org\/04rp40h82<\/a>, where <b>04rp40h82<\/b> is the unique WATOC identifier. The prefix <b>https:\/\/ror.org\/<\/b> is called the &#8220;resolver&#8221;, which in turn allows access to the <a href=\"https:\/\/api.ror.org\/organizations\/04rp40h82\">associated metadata record<\/a> via an API. That record in turn includes a link to the organisation, similar to links to journal articles as specified by a DOI.<\/p>\n<p>It is now time to show some examples of how the WATOC ROR can actually be used.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>One outcome of the last WATOC Congress held in 2022 in Vancouver is the production of a themed peer-reviewed issue of the Canadian journal of chemistry, created by inviting speakers to submit an article corresponding to their presentation. Armed with the WATOC ROR, the publisher was approached to ask if this identifier could be included in the metadata record for each accepted article. This was agreed and in due course will be added to the Crossref metadata record for each article in this special issue. When this happens, it can be searched using e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/api.crossref.org\/works?filter=ror-id:04rp40h82\">https:\/\/api.crossref.org\/works?filter=ror-id:04rp40h82<\/a>\u00a0 Because creation of a metadata record is actually part of the complex journal production workflow, this will not occur until the journal has updated its procedures to do this, which may take a little while yet. Invoking that search would then allow all published articles associated with (at least in part) WATOC activities.<\/li>\n<li>The link <a href=\"https:\/\/api.crossref.org\/works?filter=ror-id:04rp40h82\">https:\/\/api.crossref.org\/works?filter=ror-id:04rp40h82<\/a> is actually part of the CrossRef API (application programmer interface) and so can now be used to construct complex programatic queries which include the WATOC ROR and for deployment in <em>e.g.<\/em> AI applications.<span id=\"cite_ITEM-25918-1\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-25918-1\">[2]<\/a><\/span> Although not derived from the CrossRef API, I can show here some similar uses of metadata for the construction of so-called Knowledge Graphs <span id=\"cite_ITEM-25918-1\" name=\"citation\"><a href=\"#ITEM-25918-1\">[2]<\/a><\/span>, which can be thought of as visual representation of connections between scientific objects, organisations and other types of entity to which a registered PID has been assigned.\n<ol>\n<li>This knowledge graph was created using SciFinder by specifying a person (myself in this case) and any conferences they have been associated with. However, in the past the capture of conference attendance was a rather hit and miss process and so the record is very incomplete. It is the expectation that metadata associated with ROR PIDs will help make these records more complete and hence useful. \u00a0ROR is also fully open and hence its use is less restricted than the proprietary SciFinder system.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25927\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ch.ic.ac.uk\/rzepa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/conferences.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ch.ic.ac.uk\/rzepa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/conferences.jpg 1788w, https:\/\/www.ch.ic.ac.uk\/rzepa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/conferences-300x249.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ch.ic.ac.uk\/rzepa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/conferences-1024x852.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ch.ic.ac.uk\/rzepa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/conferences-768x639.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ch.ic.ac.uk\/rzepa\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/conferences-1536x1277.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1788px) 100vw, 1788px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>I cannot resist also adding this one.

Now it is leading the way in acquiring and deploying its very own persistent identifier in the form of a ROR. One might hope that many more such organisations acquire one soon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The DOI for this post is 10.14469\/hpc\/12363<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n    <ol class=\"kcite-bibliography csl-bib-body\"><li id=\"ITEM-25918-0\">R.M.
