Just a note that ORCID serves data using terms from schema.org, and has done for a while (since April 2018), but somehow I missed this.
You can get linked data in JSON-LD using content negotiation. If we send a request to https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2168-0514 with "Accept: application/ld+json" we get back something like this:

This is the profile for Mark Hughes (0000-0002-2168-0514). Up until now I've been generating my own linked data version of ORCID records that look very similar to this, but going forward this will simplify life.
Note that I've truncated the above example, it's actually this:

This gives us a list of Mark's publications from ORCID. If there aren't any publications listed, the @reverse property is empty. Note that @reverse is a JSON-LD trick that enables the JSON-LD document to include not only things linked from Mark's ORCID id (e.g., his name and affiliation) but also things his ORCID id is linked to (e.g., that he is the author of works such as https://doi.org/10.1017/s0960428619000283).
I will still be generating my own linked data from ORCID for now as I rely on knowing the order of authorship for some of my work (e.g., "Reconciling author names in taxonomic and publication databases" https://doi.org/10.1101/870170), and I want to be able to further process ORCID data (e.g., looking for missing DOIs), but the fact that ORCID are making JSON-LD available is going to simplify a lot of data integration tasks in the future.
