Phase 1 Query API

We are extremely happy to announce that the ORCID development team has made the first ORCID code release. The ORCID-Mock-API-Web-Application is ready for people to download and run.   The Github repository for it is open to anybody as of now. 

This deployable WAR file provides a full implementation of the "ORCID Phase 1 Query API", which third parties can use in order to start writing clients that require read-only access to the ORCID system. The system includes the ability to query for a researcher's "protected" profile elements though authentication via OAuth2. The big restriction is that, at the moment, this system is not tied to the real back-end database and will only deliver the included hard-coded, fake, ORCID profile.
 
The development team has confirmed that it is easy to deploy this WAR in a standard servlet container (e.g.  Apache Tomcat 7) and that it works with existing third party OAuth client libraries. ORCID will soon be releasing separate (Ruby) code that to serve as further examples.

The next release of the Mock API WAR will include the ability to deposit/update profiles to the system.
