In order to be able to plan ahead in my installation, I would like to know if there is any way to deal with authorities in Invenio. The BibAuthority module (described in detail here: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CDS/BibAuthority) is EXACLY what i would like to have, but i cannot find it in my installation nor in the invenio/inspire repo. Was the module abandoned/postponed/replaced by something even better?
We currently use some sort of authority control in JuSER where we mainly implemented the functionality within websubmit type of things. This however does not (yet?) use bibauthority. Unfortunately, the searchengine does not yet know about authorities. If we can be of some help here, drop me a note. You can check out what we did at http://juser.fz-juelich.de/ in the Authorities-collections. You might also want to check out the Marc we used. E.g. for an institute http://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/98380 You may use the arrow links to go to predecessors, successors or top.
On the other hand, inspirehep.net seems to have such functionality (HepNames, Institutions, Conferences) seem to be 'authority' records that are considered when performing a search.
We would definitely also want to know how they can be used within search. I mean not simple stuff like searching for an ID, we have this already but searching for an ID x and find all records for ID x and y as the authority record of x list's y as addional identifier. We work around our current limitations e.g. using the index cid (contributing institutes also gathering all former forms of the institute) but this is not really done in a nice way. Bascially a record here just has enough collection entires, but it's no real authority lookup.
ps. I apologize for sending a similar mail in the past too. It's quite urgent that i know at least some general information and the best practices for the current/next Invenio version in order to make the right decisions for my next milestone. I'll do the reading/implementation/testing myself.
When we started to implement this stuff I checked closely with Annette Holtkamp, so I think we should indeed use the same or at least a very similar authority record layout as Inspire.
