The literature map site confuses me. There are often multiple different versions of an author's name, whether because of mispelling ("Miriam" Zimmer Bradley), presence or absence of middle name/initial (Mercedes Lackey, Mercedes R. Lackey), or differing versions of authors whose names include initials (R.A. Salvatore, R. A. Salvatore, RA Salvatore). While I guess I can understand this, if the information is plucked from different databases, I cannot understand why these variations aren't clustered together.
