[R-pkg-devel] ORCID ID finder via tools::CRAN_package_db() ?

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Has anybody written a quick helper function that extracts the Authors using R field
from tools::CRAN_package_db() and 'stems' it into 'Name, Firstname, ORCID'
which one could use to look up ORCID IDs at CRAN? The lookup at orcid.org
sometimes gives us 'private entries' that make it harder / impossible to
confirm a match. Having a normalised matrix or data.frame (or ...) would also
make it easier to generate Authors using R.

Cheers, Dirk
