Description

The user's organisation using the organisation's organisation’s domain name; syntax in accordance with RFC 1035.

Examples

example.nl 

Notes

  •  In the past, SURFconext used to send the home organisation in the attribute urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15, which was incorrect.  Since 2013, the correct oid urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.25178.1.2.9 is in use.  For reasons of compatibility, the old (wrong) key is also still sent.  It should not be used in new implementations.
  • Matching values against this attribute should be case-insensitive, i.e. the values "uniharderwijk.nl" and "UniHarderwijk.nl" should be considered equal.
  • It is desirable to have the same value for all your users.
  • SURFconext will store the allowed value for your institution in our configuration so we can check that no illegal values are being sent.

Data type

URL, registered with ORCID.org

Description 

The ORCID is a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes the account holder from every other researcher. Through integration in research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, the ORCID identifier supports automated linkages between the account holder and his/her professional activities ensuring that the account holder's work is recognized. Values MUST be valid ORCID identifiers in the ORCID-preferred URL representation, i.e. http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097

Examples

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097

http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9351-8252

Although the attribute is in theory multi-valued, in practice it probably makes sense that it has no more than one value.
