Despite improvements to the author checking and matching algorithm, which although simple does an effective job of matching authors, duplicates still appear from time to time.
A function to merge authors is required. This should:
take the uuid of two duplicate authors
merge fields of the two authors (or request input to select which fields to keep in the merged author profile)
create a new author profile (or add :sameAs relation between them)
update the :author_of relations so that they point to the merged author
Issues:
external links to any deleted duplicate author would break if the author was deleted
using :sameAs relations adds complexity to queries e.g. listing publications from an author AND any author which is :sameAs author
