Giving CRediT where CRediT is Due

This post described ORCID support for the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) in its APIs and documentation. "Research contributors—who may have multiple roles per published work—can now have all facets of their work recognized." Even more importantly, I think, some people perhaps not previously credited will be acknowledged (there's no need to go to the absurdity of listing the caterers, the way the movie industry does, but crediting software designers or project administration in a research publication seems perfectly appropriate). 14 roles are listed, which probably isn't enough. It would be interesting to see a similar approach for educational materials.
