[GOAL] Re: New Year's challenge for repository developers and managers: awesome cross-search

Actually ORCID has a public API, though there is a request to use throttling so as not to overwhelm the servers.  I believe some guidance around this is being developed, but you can use the API now:

  I am not saying it's a step backwards, but it is step backwards
  for open access. 

  The data is ORCID will not be open access data. Access to ORCID
  data will essentially be limited to ORCID members. ORCID say
  there will be some dump of some data made available on an annual
  basis. That's not enough to build a service on the data that
  require bulk instantaneous access to the data.
