By default, tools that present nanopublication authorship (such as Nanodash) identify authors by their ORCID. To have a human-readable name shown alongside or in place of the ORCID, you need to publish a small nanopublication that declares a foaf:name for your ORCID.

The easiest way to do this is through the Nanodash profile page. After logging in with your ORCID, this page lets you enter your display name and publish an introduction nanopublication in a single step. The introduction nanopublication contains a triple of the form orcid:0000-0000-0000-0000 foaf:name \"Your Name\" in its assertion, and at the same time registers the public key you use to sign nanopublications.

Once published, any tool that resolves authorship through the nanopublication network — Nanodash, resource pages, query results, and so on — will display your name in place of (or together with) the bare ORCID. You can update the displayed name at any time by publishing a new introduction nanopublication that supersedes the previous one.
