Hi Eva, unfortunately, DSpace currently treats authors as text (although there is the possibility of authority control). It doesn't currently have any association between an author (item metadata field or an authority ID) and an EPerson (DSpace user).
This problem is described here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/244 Since this seems to be central to what you expect from your system, you may want to look at other solutions besides DSpace. If you decide for DSpace nevertheless, here's the Java API: http://demo.dspace.org/javadocs/5/apidocs/ and the REST API: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/REST+API There may be other APIs available for specialized tasks, too.
