Sample Publisher name authority based on SHERPA/RoMEO WARNING: This is a very crude and incomplete implementation, done mainly as a proof-of-concept. Any site that actually wants to use it will probably have to refine it (and give patches back to dspace.org).

Description copied from interface: ChoiceAuthority

Get all values from the authority that match the preferred value. Note that the offering was entered by the user and may contain mixed/incorrect case, whitespace, etc so the plugin should be careful to clean up user data before making comparisons. Value of a "Name" field will be in canonical DSpace person name format, which is "Lastname, Firstname(s)", e.g. "Smith, John Q.". Some authorities with a small set of values may simply return the whole set for any sample value, although it's a good idea to set the defaultSelected index in the Choices instance to the choice, if any, that matches the value.

Parameters:

field - being matched for

text - user's value to match

collection - database ID of Collection for context (owner of Item)

start - choice at which to start, 0 is first.

limit - maximum number of choices to return, 0 for no limit.

locale - explicit localization key if available, or null

Returns:

a Choices object (never null).
