Email works for our school, but our institution uses the staff id. You can use the autocompletion function to help people enter the value automatically. > Our records will be harvested via OAI and not all authors or one > department, but a selection of authors.

I suppose the repository would need to be able to allocate individual author ids to specific sets, so as long as the repository is privvy to that information you shouldn't have a problem. I'd still be inclined to store the result of this mapping as a property of the eprint, so that anyone can query it. -- Les
