autor normalization: concatenated initials

[jacquerie]

From @annetteholtkamp on August 18, 2017 15:13

Expected Behavior

A name with concatenated capital initials like "Fitzakerley, DW" should be converted to
"Fitzakerley, D.W."
ex: https://inspirehep.net/record/1488707

This conversion should only happen, if the family name is not all caps since we may encounter Chinese names like "SHI, YU"

Context

Currently, cataloguers have to change this manually which is painful for long author lists and may easily be overlooked. In the current system I believe this may generate superfluous new author profiles.

Is this happening in general (hence to be added to the workflow) or is only within certain sources (e.g. arXiv) (hence to be fixed in a crawler?)

Difficult to say. It surely can happen for scanned conference proceedings. I can look around a bit. - Annette On 27 Aug 2017, at 01:09, Jacopo Notarstefano <notifications@github.com<mailto:notifications@github.com>> wrote: From @kaplun<https://github.com/kaplun> on August 22, 2017 9:5 Is this happening in general (hence to be added to the workflow) or is only within certain sources (e.g. arXiv) (hence to be fixed in a crawler?) — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.
