Re: [foaf-dev] ORCID ID

Hi Ben,

I think you're right. I was confused by the fact that ORCIDs denote only pa=
rt of the individual, i.e, the researcher aspect.

I'll check directly with them for http vs https - I suspect this will be a =
source of confusion for users; most people would probably just copy/paste t=
he browser's URL when sharing their ORCID.

Thanks,
Melanie
