Hi Lenya devs,
the question is about determining the name of the author of a document,
e.g. for inclusion in RSS feeds.
At the moment, the user ID is stored in the dc:creator meta data field.
This allows to determine the full name, but only if the user still
exists. If the user has been deleted from the system, there is no way to
find out her name.
IMO we have to store both values, the user ID of the original creator
(for internal purposes) and the full name (to be displayed). IMO the
dc:creator field should contain the full name to make rendering as
straightforward as possible. That would mean we'd have to introduce a
new field for the user ID of the creator, probably as part of the
http://apache.org/lenya/metadata/document/1.0 meta data.

BTW, this issue - mapping identities of people to documents - seems to
become a hot topic, especially in the educational domain (Open Access).
See for instance
http://www.heise.de/open/Wissenschaft-im-Zeichen-von-Web-2-0--/news/meldung/106052.
I think it is a real challenge to provide a mechanism which allows to
identify the author of a document even after a long time. The author
might have changed her name, her e-mail address etc. If someone has
experiences about best practises, I think that could help us a lot.
