We reported the project to identify authors in JAIRO (Japanese Institutional Repository Online), national federated search portal for Japanese institutional repositories. In order to identify authors, we made name disambiguation framework along with the nature of repository systems installed in Japanese institutions. Researcher Name Resolver functions as a name authority for JAIRO, which holds an author IDs mapping table for local institutional author IDs to interconnect with global author IDs. Complete name disambiguation bring us a new feature of JAIRO that shows grouping items of an author by several viewpoints. We are going to spread our ideas and practice for global audience in Japan.
