Hi Les,

Yes I mean a kind of school-id that is unique to the individual in the
institution. They do not need to know what it is and is generally not
shown on any output (we use these to populate Staff publication lists).

I assume the author_id you are talking about is the email which is not
unique enough for our needs. Our partners in a project have DAIs issued
nationally.

Our records will be harvested via OAI and not all authors or one
department, but a selection of authors. We just created a new 'Set' for
these!

Cheers

Mike

When you say "institutional id" do you mean an "author id" ↵
for authors
in the institution? If so, EPrints 3 already has that feature.

Or do you mean an id attached to the author that complements the
existing author id and identifies which part of the institution (s)he is
in? A kind of "school-id"?

And when you say "harvest records", do you mean via an OAI harvest, ↵
or
an Eprints search?

Some repositories record the departments/research groups to which each
paper is affiliated (using part of the subject tree). If that is
achieved, you can search for all of the papers which belong to any part
of the institution very easily.
