Hi Helix, Thanks, will update my wiki. However I am still confused, how does an eperson record and an ORCID authority record relate? To me it is common sense to relate them.
For example, when doing a lookup, the first names (not in italics) appear first, then the ORCID lookups (in italics). I understand the ORCID lookup but where do the non-italic names come from then, if there is no relation as mentioned above?
