Ringgold Integrates Open Funder Registry IDs

22 November 2016, Beaverton, OR. Today, Ringgold has mapped more than
11,000 Open Funder Registry IDs to its Identify Database of over
440,000 organizational records. The addition of the Funder IDs
provides interoperability between the two datasets.

By mapping Funder IDs to Ringgold's Identify Database, organizations
and publishers managing Article Processing Charges (APCs) for Open
Access journals will be able to fully automate the APC calculations
for authors, funders, and institutions from a single source.
Furthermore, Ringgold customers will be able to readily identify
funders from within the universe of organizational records in
Identify.

Jay Henry, Chief Marketing Officer at Ringgold said: "Ringgold is
committed to uniting important datasets used throughout scholarly
communications. The inclusion of the Funder IDs provides our customers
with the ability to accurately identify funders, and associate the
full Ringgold metadata with those institutions. This opens a new
dimension of linked data to further improve analysis of our shared
ecosystem."
