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.
