You click on a DOI to read a paper on the Internet, use the author's ORCID to look up their other publications and use the ROR ID to search for details of their home institution. Of course, you can do all this even if you don't know what these abbreviations stand for. They all stand for Persistent Identifiers, abbreviated to PID. In short, they are systems that use clearly defined rules to ensure that objects (or people) are represented and can be found in a uniform and comparable way. New efforts are constantly being made to provide other objects with PIDs, such as conferences or laboratory equipment.
The portal forschungsdaten.info, among others, offers a brief summary
The Open Researcherand Contributor ID or ORCID is a number with which it should be possible to uniquely identify individuals. This means that changes of name or institution are not associated with attribution problems for published work. Self-registration is required for an ORCID. Each person decides on the information released and recorded in the associated profile themselves. The creation of such an ID is completed within a few minutes. An additional advantage is that the ID can be used to log into other open services, such as argos, the EU's DMP tool.
The Digital Object Identifierhas established itself as the de facto standard for data and digital objects. A DOI makes it possible to uniquely identify and localize an object. A reliable scientific citation is possible through the DOI, as the DOI remains the same over the entire lifetime of the linked digital object.
The Research Organization Registryis a free and open possibility to clearly assign research institutions. The ROR ID of Clausthal University of Technology is https://ror.org/04qb8nc58. The EST also has its own ROR ID as a subordinate unit: https: //ror.org/00q7z2571
