Introduction
One of the main functions of ARIW is to help with the AuthorClaim author
registration system. It allows authors to claim authorship of
works described in participating bibliographic databases.
From ARIW to AuthorClaim
The ARIW dataset is exported every night to AuthorClaim. There
it is read into the AuthorClaim database.
Authors who register with AuthorClaim can claim an affiliation
with an institution registered in the ARIW dataset. If an
author’s institution can not be found the author can suggest a
new institution record. That request is forwarded to the
ARIW maintainers, for them to consider that a new
institution be created. There are published procedures
on how
to deal with AuthorClaim propopsals.
From AuthorClaim to ARIW
When an author claims to be affiliated with an institution,
ARIW will create a link from the
institution to the profile of the author.
An example may be useful
to illustrate this.
Thomas
Krichel claims to be affiliation with
two institutions,
-
Long Island University in the state of
New York, in the United States of America,
-
Новосибирский Государственний Университет
in the Russian Federation.
Thus the ARIW listing for New
York and the ARIW listing for
the Russian Federation have links to
d7ywz.html
and hk9gw.html
that contain a list of people who have claimed
to work there.
Sure, such links are few and far between at
this time, but we have to start somewhere.
