| contents | Personal Name Identification in the Practice of Digital Repositories Xia, Jingfeng Identification Authors Documentation Electronic Libraries Electronic Publishing Archives Information Retrieval Purpose: To propose improvements to the identification of authors' names in digital repositories. Design/methodology/approach: Analysis of current name authorities in digital resources, particularly in digital repositories, and analysis of some features of existing repository applications. Findings: This paper finds that the variations of authors' names have negatively affected the retrieval capability of digital repositories. Two possible solutions include using composite identifiers that combine author name, publication date, and author affiliation, and also asking authors to input the variants of their name, if any, at the time of depositing articles. Originality/value: This is the first time that the approach of authors self-depositing their name variations is proposed. This approach will be able to reduce confusions in name identification. |
