Best practices: ORCID IDs

[pkra]

I was hoping to tap into the community knowledge.

For a project with a mathematical publisher, we've used something like

<contrib-group content-type="authors">
        <contrib contrib-type="author">
          <contrib-id contrib-id-type="orcid">http://orcid.org/0000-zzz-yyy-xxx</contrib-id>
          <name name-style="western">
            <surname>John</surname>
            <given-names>Doe</given-names>
          </name>
          <aff>Doe's Institute of Advanced JATS</aff>
          <email>john@doe.math</email>
        </contrib>
...
</contrib-group>

I've also seen just <uri content-type="orcid" xlink:href="http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7361-560X"/> in the wild and I'm wondering what people here consider best practice.

There's an example of using orcid as a contrib-id-type value in the JATS documentation, so I'd say that's best practice (it's also what we use at PeerJ).

Right, sorry, I should've linked to that. Still, seeing other examples in the wild made us wonder.
