    I'm planning to make us of the fez_author and fez_org tables. I think I've figured how to do so within your framework, but I am curious about a few of the table fields. Specifically, what is the difference between

    aut_title
    aut_function
    aut_position

    and what is the purpose of

    aut_assessed?

      Hi Kyle

      You can safely ignore those fields if you like they are basically placeholder fields for data if in the future Fez adds a 'profile' for authors.

      aut_title is like Dr, Mr, etc
      aut_function for us is teaching, research etc
      aut_position is their job title
      aut_assessed was for whether the author is assessed in our research exercises but we are using auo_assessed now instead. If auo_assessed is true then then author will show up in author_selector drop down lists for objects.

      Cheers,
      Christiaan
