Małgorzata works at the intersection of open science, research information management, and repository infrastructure, with a practical focus on how national and institutional systems actually get built and used. A recognised DSpace expert and specialist in research evaluation, she has designed and delivered solutions at national scale - previously as part of a state-owned software house building systems for Poland's Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and currently as project manager and client supervisor at PCG Academia. She serves on the DSpace Leadership Group and advises on policy instruments for research output management.
Session
Are your repository's PID integrations doing the bare minimum? This session draws on production experience with DSpace, the world's most widely deployed open-source repository platform, to show what ORCID, ROR, and DOI can actually deliver when treated as infrastructure rather than metadata fields.
Most repository managers have all three identifiers in place but have never seen a complete picture of what they unlock day to day. You'll discover how DOIs become a live metadata pipeline via Crossref and OpenAlex, how ORCID powers full researcher entity creation rather than just name disambiguation, how ROR finally brings order to years of affiliation chaos, and how PID-based matching pulls in external data from Scopus and Web of Science without manual intervention.
The central argument: this is the path from a standard publication repository to a functioning CRIS - and you're already holding the keys.
