Hello everyone,
There could be a case where one would like to match author names to
their latin transliteration. This would be very useful for non latin
(Chinese/Japanese/Greek/Russian/Hindi/Arabic/...) author names that have
two representations and might appear in papers with both!
Google has an excellent API for that, and I believe there are some
transliteration packages for python[1] as well, so if you believe it
could be of interest to the project, it might not be so difficult to
implement in the author matching/merging algorithm!
Thanks in advance,
Theodoros Theodoropoulos
