Use cases please?

Hi @mfenner ,

Since you are familiar with the Orcid API and data, I wonder if you could help with use cases that could become functions in rorcid. That is, just as you have done with the PLoS ALM API though rplos, what kind of things would you want to do with the Orcid API in R?

Thanks! Scott

Two use cases I used in ScienceCard are the following:

• given a name, retrieve a list of the best matching names and their ORCID IDs
• given an ORCID ID, retrieve all publications associated with that ID

A third interesting one is:

• given a DOI, retrieve a list of ORCIDs that claimed this work

Great, thanks Martin. I will implement these use cases in functions and then see how useful they are.
