authors field inconsistent between Works dump and .json endpoint

[cdrini]

Here is work /works/OL15348267W from the Open Library data dumps:

{
    "title": "Living Peace: the open space of our lives. An initial consideration of the personal practice Open Space",
    "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2010-08-23T21:58:29.243780"},
    "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2010-08-23T21:58:29.243780"},
    "latest_revision": 1,
    "key": "/works/OL15348267W",
    "authors": [
        {"type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}}
    ],
    "type": {"key": "/type/work"},
    "revision": 1
}

And here it is from https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15348267W.json :

{
    "title": "Living Peace: the open space of our lives. An initial consideration of the personal practice Open Space",
    "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2010-08-23T21:58:29.243780"},
    "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2010-08-23T21:58:29.243780"},
    "latest_revision": 1,
    "key": "/works/OL15348267W",
    "authors": [
      
    ],
    "type": {
        "key": "/type/work"
    },
    "revision": 1
}

Note the differences in the "authors" field.

Probably tangential, but that record was manually created by a one-time IP contributor, likely the self-published author:
http://www.michaelherman.com/publications/living_peace.pdf

It is likely he simply didn't click on the create new author drop down.

@cdrini Do you have other examples of Work dumps being different than the JSON response? Can you also elaborate on what a "Work dump" is? Is that the response from Solr?

Also I'm assigning you per our slack discussion since you made the issue.
