- Not an instance
A staff page on a faculty website is not an ORCID record because it is not stored under the ORCID iD's resolution endpoint.
- Not an instance

Editorial commentary
An ORCID record is a graph of claims about one person. Each claim (a work, an employment, a funding award, a peer-review activity) is attributed to a source — the iD owner themselves, a trusted organisation (university, publisher, funder), or a trusted individual. The record holder controls which assertions are visible to the public, to trusted parties, or to no-one but themselves. The record is editable via the ORCID web UI and via the ORCID API, and is exposed under content negotiation as JSON, XML, or RDF.
