R6 Approach[edit]
Authors and affiliations can be associated with ID or just stored as strings. In the GUI this makes any handling of corresponing entries more complicated. The GUI needs to meet two requirements to enable the current submission for multiple authors:
- The list of authors/organizations must be shorter
- The list needs to be more similar to the view item version
- The handling of controlled vocabulary must be possible
Prototype draft[edit]
Authors and affiliations can come from manual entry, import or by automatic detection after cut & paste entry. To support a large list of authors affiliated to a list of organization a grid list is introduced:
Mode of Operation[edit]
Add multiple authors/affiliations
Authors will be matched to the cone entries by the system. The GUI behaviour is as follows:
1. The Author has been identified:
Icon appears behind the author, indicating a valid author ID:
Case 1: The author name is right, but it is an author with the same name which is different from the author that has an ID. -> By clicking the icon dropdown, the user opens an area below with two additional options: Remove ID, Keep ID with different Autor spelling. The user selects "Remove ID"
Case 2: The author name is wrong/has another writing but ID is fine
-> By clicking the icon dropdown, the user opens an area below with two additional options: Remove ID, Keep ID with different Autor spelling.
The user selects "Keep ID with different Autor spelling"
2. The Author has not been identified:
No Icon appears. Case1: The user likes to check if there is an ID. He clicks in the input field and the auto suggest is invoked if a string matches. After an auto suggest entry is selected, the icon appears.
Add Organizations
Remark: Organizations can not be matched by parsing from cut & paste.
An icon appears behind the organization input field if the organization name matches to an entry in the controlled vocabulary.
Case 1 (just to be consistent): The org name is right, but it should not have an ID. -> By clicking the icon dropdown, the user opens an area below with two additional options: Remove ID, Keep ID with different Org. spelling. The user selects "Remove ID"
Case 2: The org name is wrong, but ID is fine. -> By clicking the icon dropdown, the user opens an area below with two additional options: Remove ID, Keep ID with different Org. spelling. The user selects "Keep ID with different Org. spelling"
Fetch Organizations from Tree
-> If the user needs to see the hierarchical levels of organizational units he can fetch on from the tree as it is now. In this case the line is filled with Org name and address along with the corresponding icon.
