Hi, Paul. As Ed said, BibApp is one approach to addressing your problem. We've been using it and hacking on it at KU Medical Center for a few years now. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Author authority records to create publication feed?

Two other projects that are worth taking a look at are VIVO [1] and
BibApp [2]. Both take the approach of enabling institutions to manage
information about their faculty, which can then be federated more
widely. I guess the reality is that there will be lots of identifiers
for faculty, and simple systems that allow them to be collaboratively
and meaningfully linked together are a good way forward.
