Hi, your use case will need in any case some work. A good starting point could be the DSpace-CRIS addon that allow you to make record for the authors and use the authority control to enable lookup in this "additional database". http://cilea.github.com/dspace-cris/
In the author record you can store one or more affiliations and any other informations that you need. The only issue in this case is that out-of-box the item will only know about the author, so if the author has more affiliations you will be not able to understand which affiliation has been used to sign the paper. You can solve this issue using the DSpace-CRIS module in different ways, depending on your actual requirements, for example you can change the authority control plugin to allow the user to choose which affiliation select during deposit and store all the data as text (i.e. Bollini, Andrea; CINECA) the link to the authority record will be always stored in the authority column of metadatavalue. Different requirements, multiple affiliations and "authority control" also for affiliation, could benefit from different solution build on top of DSpace-CRIS but it is really impossible to say more without additional information. Please note that actually the DSpace-CRIS addon works out-of-box only with the JSPUI and has been tested on PostgreSQL, however the authority control integration work also for XMLUI so it is also fine to manage your "Authority Author Database" from the JSPUI and allow the user in XMLUI to lookup for it.
