Good to see this can be done with Solr.
Here's another approach, but proprietary:
http://www.worldcat.org/identities
Working on a much larger database, it should have more potential
for this paradigm of searching. Also, it incorporates the VIAF database
of consolidated name headings from a number of national libraries.
Bringing together what would otherwise not always come out together
because of the differences in rules for headings.
There seems to be, however, a scarcity of info about the state and
prospects of the project.
