Authority control lets you tell DSpace that the three "different" names actually refer to the same person. With authority control enabled, you will get the authoritative version of the name shown in the author browse and other places. The code for the authority lookup even accepts a locale, so in theory the full behaviour that Alex describes should be possible. It looks like the Solr-based ORCID authority mechanism makes some use of the locale parameter, but it doesn't look to me like this is fully implemented at this stage; the locale is passed in when the authoritative version of a name is looked up but the Solr schema doesn't actually allow language variants of a name to be stored. You might like to check with @mire (who developed the Solr-based authority mechanism) about the status of this functionality. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
