 +Over the recent years numerous repositories and initiatives have recommended the use of ROR. Among them e.g. Arbeitskreis Forschungsdatenmanagement (AK FDM) in Baden-Württemberg [1]

 The database can be accessed via the official website, an open API or as a downloadable database dump. All ROR identifiers and metadata are provided under the CC0 licence. The database can be accessed via the official website, an open API or as a downloadable database dump.

 ====2. Possible alternative solutions==== ====2. Possible alternative solutions====
 +
 +Several alternatives exist: 
 +
 +1. GRID (Global Research Identifier Database) [Deprecated, replaced by ROR]
 +
 +Status: No longer maintained, but still used in legacy systems.
 +
 +Scope: Global research institutions, similar to ROR.
 +
 +Use case: May be used if your system still relies on GRID identifiers, which are mapped to ROR in most cases.
 +
 +Note: Since ROR is a community-led continuation of GRID, migrating to ROR is generally encouraged.
 +
 +
 +2. ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier)
 +
 +Scope: Broad—covers not only research institutions but also other organizations and individuals involved in creative or intellectual work.
 +
 +Managed by: ISNI International Agency.
 +
 +Use case: Useful for linking to authority records in library or publishing systems (e.g., for institutions in MARC21 authority data).
 +
 +
 +3. National or Domain-Specific Authority Files
 +
 +Examples include:
 +
 +  * GND (Gemeinsame Normdatei) – German National Authority File.
 +
 +  * LCNAF – Library of Congress Name Authority File (U.S.).
 +
 +  * SUDOC – French academic institutions (Abes).
 +
 +Use case: Often used in library, archival, or bibliometric infrastructures.
 +
 +Limitation: Coverage and update frequency vary; may not be globally interoperable.
 +
 +4. Internal Institutional IDs
 +
 +Scope: Local or consortium-level identifiers for partner institutions or affiliates.
 +
 +Use case: When working within a closed or federated system (e.g., within Helmholtz or NFDI), organizations may assign internal codes or URIs.
 +
 +Caution: Not globally resolvable unless made publicly accessible.
