Names Autocompleter Extension Package for EPrints

Description

The Names Autocompleter is an extension for the EPrints repository software (http://www.eprints.org/). It augments the existing autocomplete facility for author and editor fields for EPrints version 3.x.

In addition to searching across authors already in the local EPrints repository, Names autocomplete will also search the Names API, returning matching names together with their assigned URIs. Moving the cursor down the drop-down list produced will bring up further author details to help in identifying the individual; namely: affiliations, fields of interest, and details of up to three publications.

The Names URI is entered into the EPrints creator identifier field, which has been renamed from 'Email address' to 'Identifier'.

Additional information has been added to the context-sensitive help for author and editor.
