| | 24 | == Introduction== |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | A robust research information management system is essential for any modern academic |
| | 27 | institution to showcase its scholarly output and track research impact. ORCID (Open |
| | 28 | Researcher and Contributor ID) provides a unique, persistent digital identifier that distinguishes |
| | 29 | researchers and connects them to their professional activities.While many institutions in Sri |
| | 30 | Lanka have repositories, a lack of awareness, staff turnover, and outdated system |
| | 31 | configurations often prevent them from fully leveraging ORCID's potential. To address this, |
| | 32 | LEARN is proposing a specialized technical workshop. The event will focus primarily on ORCID |
| | 33 | ecosystem adoption alongside its practical synchronization within the repo.ac.lk platform. |

| | 37 | == Workshop overview == |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | The workshop is designed to equip library professionals, IT administrators, and researchers with |
| | 40 | the knowledge needed to manage digital research identities. Participants will learn how to |
| | 41 | bridge individual research outputs with national repository structures. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | ==== Key Thematic Areas ==== |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | ===== The ORCID Ecosystem (70% Focus) ===== |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | - Introduction & History: The evolution of ORCID as a global, non-profit standard for researcher identification. |
| | 48 | - The Value Proposition: Advantages of ORCID IDs for researchers and institutions(e.g., eliminating author ambiguity, automated data exchange, and visibility). |
| | 49 | - Account Management: Best practices for creating, optimizing, and maintaining an ORCID Id. |
| | 50 | - Data Synchronization: How data flows seamlessly between the global ORCID registry and institutional platforms. |
| | 51 | - Live Demonstration: A walk-through of the production website showing profile creation, manual updates, and authorization workflows. |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | ===== DSpace CRIS & National Infrastructure (30% Focus) ===== |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | - CRIS Architecture: Understanding the structural framework of Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) within DSpace. |
| | 56 | - Repository Integration: Technical configurations required to connect institutional nodes to the national repo.ac.lk platform. |
| | 57 | - Metadata Mapping: Aligning researcher profiles, publications, and institutional affiliations within the CRIS structure. |
