R5 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.

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 1: 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"
