Hi Peter,this use case is addressed by the authority framework (and actually
supported out of box in dspace-cris).The authority value is used in the browse
and the search so also if you access to the item list using the Peter Diez
entry you will find all the content also if related to the PM Dietz entry.You
can also configure the system (see the discovery.cfg options) to ignore the
metadatavalue and put in the index only the prefered form of a name as provided
by the authority.

Hi All,
Lets say you have an author record that might different values, but all
representing the same person.Peter DietzPeter M DietzPM DietzDietz, Peter
MDietz, PM
Does DSpace have any facility to map these distinct values to the same author,
such that a search for "Peter Dietz", will match when the value is stored as
"Dietz, PM". Or, is the recommendation just to edit the metadata, and
consolidate the distinct values into one single acceptable form. (Probably the
longest version of a name).
My read of "Authority" is that it will give you a backstore, but I don't see it
as being a mapping of different ways of spelling the same thing.
Perhaps this is another need for richer metadata objects? name.givenname,
name.surname, ...
