Abstract
With respect to the world wide web, scientific information has become distributed and often redundantly held on different server locations. The vision of a current research information system (CRIS) as an environment for constant monitoring and tracking of a researcher’s output has become vivid, but still fighting with issues like legacy information and institutional repository structures to be established yet. We therefore suggest to gather those scattered research information through identifying its authors by means of authority data already associated with them. We introduce author pages as a proof-of-concept application collecting research information not only from a local source such as an institutional repository, but also from other external bibliographic sources.
