I spend most of my Wednesdays looking for errors, from the blatant to the egregious, in recently-deposited protein structures in the PDB. Sometimes, I feel the urge to get in touch with the people who deposited the structure; the PDB lists this in the form

AUTHOR Y.T.MEHARENNA,T.L.POULOS

and it takes quite a lot of googling to track these authors down to their current institution and deduce, for example, their email address. In this case I've found them - Meharenna is not so common a name as to have multiple false-positives in Google Scholar, and has only changed institutions a few times.

I guess that some text-miner must have done a mining of affiliations, so you could click on 'YT Meharenna' and find 'Yergalem T Maharenna published nine papers between 1998 and 2007 (list); common collaborators include Thomas Poulos (2004-2007) and Gianfranco Gilardi (2001). Was affiliated with UC Irvine on papers published in 2004-2007 and Imperial College on papers published in 2001'.

What's the name of the site that presents the results of this mining?
