Some key data elements:

• ORCID identifiers are included on over 6.2 million records to support author disambiguation
• funding acknowledgements, including agency and grant numbers, are indexed
• full author and institutional affiliation information are indexed to enhance attribution of research and collaboration analysis
• extensive unification of institution names to aggregate complex naming variations and sub-organizations

This system disambiguates authors in the Web of Science Core collection. It assigns author ids to the authorships of papers.

There are four major components to DAIS

• Initial Clustering – Starting from scratch, take our whole database without an authority list of known authors, identify the different authors.
• Ongoing – As new data comes into the database, assign author ids.
• RID Integration – Integrates manually created publication lists with DAIS
• Reevaluation – Does a fresh, full clustering on a per name basis; discovers new authors not known at the time of the initial clustering

• Connecting the Dots
