Hi Jason, at the moment this is not possible, as there is no metametadata. All the metadata at the moment is associated with the item. Your usecase would need an item with the metadata dc.creator.author and the metadata dc.creator.author with the metadata dc.date.dateofbirth. With the evolving architecture this should be possible in the future, i.e. having metadata for each DSpace object.
