Hello,
 
Does anyone have an elegant solution for allowing submitting users to
specify the affiliation of each author of, say, a journal article? I'm
sure this must be a rather common requirement for DSpace
implementations, yet I have not found a straight-forward way of
implementing this.
 
One solution I'm thinking about is putting the authors and their
affiliations in numbered metadata fields instead of repeating the
dc.contributor.author field. E.g something like this:
 
dc.contributor.author1 = Author, Albert
dc.contributor.author2 = Researcher, Roger
dc.contributor.affiliation1 = Universal University 
dc.contributor.affiliation2 = Specific School

Then I'd put in non-repeated fields for these in the input form, and
have them all indexed as Author. I guess this would be functional but
not very elegant. Especially since it grows very hairy if one wants to
allow for a larger number of authors per item, say five..

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
