Here are some typical patterns for determining identity of two book authors:

1. name_match and works_written_match. (Example 1)
2. name_match and works_edited_match. (Example 2)
3. name_match and series_written_match. (Example 3)
4. name_match and contributing_author_match. (Example 4)
5. name_match and awards_match. (Example 5)

Identity features, patterns and examples for /people/person/ type are also applicable for establishing identity relationships in type /book/author.

Pattern 1 Example 1: Permalink Here the names of the authors and several of their written works match on both the sources. Hence the authors are identical.

Pattern 2 Example 2: Permalink Here the names of the authors and one of the books edited by them match on both the sources. Hence the book authors are identical.

Pattern 3 Example 3: Permalik Here the names of the authors and some of the series written by them match on both the sources. Hence the book authors are identical.

Pattern 4 Example 4:Permalink Here the names of the authors and one of the books/story collection they have contributed to match on both the sources. Hence the book authors are identical.

Pattern 5 Example 5: Permalink In this example the names of the authors and several of the awards received by them match on both the sources. Hence it is a match.
