Hi Iola We have added an additional field called "uid" I think. This field will hold the campus member id number. We had too much ambiguity with surnames. Think of all the smith's out there. Now it will be easy to search for research outputs per campus member by using the uid field.
I am not sure if there is an official DC equivalent. Cheers hg.
