Dorothea Salo, whose Caveat Lector blog is required reading for everyone involved in the institutional repository area, has written an article on the problems associated with the area of name authority in repositories of research outputs. This excellent overview of the issues faced by repository management is available (naturally) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s institutional repository.
