Every ActivePaper should contain information about its authors. The question is how this should be handled. Are there existing standards that could be leveraged?

Author identity: an ORCID identifier would useful for this. But is it reasonable to require every author to have an ORCID?

Author contribution: the traditional linear order of author names causes lots of problems, so abandoning it for something else is probably a good idea. But which something else? A percentage? A "type of contribution" field? A fractional credit system as proposed here?

See also this blog post for background information.
