  Sandberg, J. ; Jin, Q.: How should catalogers provide authority control for journal article authors? : Name identifiers in the linked data world.
  In: Cataloging and classification quarterly. 54(2016) no.8, S.537-552.
  
  Abstract: This article suggests that catalogers can provide authority control for authors of journal articles by linking to external international authority databases. It explores the representation of article authors from three disciplines in four databases: International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI), Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID), Scopus, and Virtual International Authority File (VIAF). VIAF and Scopus are particularly promising databases for journal author names, but we believe that a combination of several name databases holds more promise than relying on a single database. We provide examples of RDF links between bibliographic description and author identifiers, including a partial BIBFRAME 2.0 description.

  Abstract: Bibliographic data is used to describe resources held in the collections of libraries, archives and museums. That data is mostly available on the Web today and mostly as linked data. Also on the Web are the controlled vocabulary systems of name authority files, like the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), classification systems, and subject terms. These systems offer their own linked data to potentially help users find the information they want - whether at their local library or anywhere in the world that is willing to make their resources available. We have found it beneficial to merge authority data for names on a global level, as the entities are relatively clear. That is not true for subject concepts and terminology that have categorisation systems developed according to varying principles and schemes and are in multiple languages. Rather than requiring everyone in the world to use the same categorisation/classification system in the same language, we know that the Web offers us the opportunity to add descriptors assigned around the world using multiple systems from multiple perspectives to identify our resources. Those descriptors add value to refine searches, help users worldwide and share globally what each library does locally.

  MacEwan, A. ; Angjeli, A. ; Gatenby, J.: ¬The International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) : the evolving future of name authority control.
  In: Cataloging and classification quarterly. 51(2013) no.1/3, S.55-71.
  
  Abstract: This article describes the project to build the initial International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) database by deploying the techniques used to develop the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF). It focuses particularly on the work of the OCLC team in transforming the VIAF "resource file" model of matched data into a robust, operational, and authoritative file of uniquely assigned ISNIs as a base for an ongoing ISNI assignment system, and on the quality assurance validation of the database provided by the British Library and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. The need for future interaction between ongoing ISNI assignment and name authority control in libraries is also explored.

  Dunsire, G. ; Willer, M.: Initiatives to make standard library metadata models and structures available to the Semantic Web.
  In: http://www.ifla.org/files/hq/papers/ifla76/149-dunsire-en.pdf.
  
  Abstract: This paper describes recent initiatives to make standard library metadata models and structures available to the Semantic Web, including IFLA standards such as Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), and International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) along with the infrastructure that supports them. The FRBR Review Group is currently developing representations of FRAD and the entityrelationship model of FRBR in resource description framework (RDF) applications, using a combination of RDF, RDF Schema (RDFS), Simple Knowledge Organisation System (SKOS) and Web Ontology Language (OWL), cross-relating both models where appropriate. The ISBD/XML Task Group is investigating the representation of ISBD in RDF. The IFLA Namespaces project is developing an administrative and technical infrastructure to support such initiatives and encourage uptake of standards by other agencies. The paper describes similar initiatives with related external standards such as RDA - resource description and access, REICAT (the new Italian cataloguing rules) and CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM). The DCMI RDA Task Group is working with the Joint Steering Committee for RDA to develop Semantic Web representations of RDA structural elements, which are aligned with FRBR and FRAD, and controlled metadata content vocabularies. REICAT is also based on FRBR, and an object-oriented version of FRBR has been integrated with CRM, which itself has an RDF representation. CRM was initially based on the metadata needs of the museum community, and is now seeking extension to the archives community with the eventual aim of developing a model common to the main cultural information domains of archives, libraries and museums. The Vocabulary Mapping Framework (VMF) project has developed a Semantic Web tool to automatically generate mappings between metadata models from the information communities, including publishers. The tool is based on several standards, including CRM, FRAD, FRBR, MARC21 and RDA. ; The paper discusses the importance of these initiatives in releasing as linked data the very large quantities of rich, professionally-generated metadata stored in formats based on these standards, such as UNIMARC and MARC21, addressing such issues as critical mass for semantic and statistical inferencing, integration with user- and machine-generated metadata, and authenticity, veracity and trust. The paper also discusses related initiatives to release controlled vocabularies, including the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), ISBD, Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF), Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), Rameau (French subject headings), Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), and the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) as linked data. Finally, the paper discusses the potential collective impact of these initiatives on metadata workflows and management systems.

  Abstract: «Current proposals for the future of the Web describe the use of ontologies for making the Web more intelligent for machine and automatic processing. The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) could be one of the basic building blocks to a »semantic web« when combined with other controlled vocabularies and authority files from such sources as abstracting and indexing services, archives, museums, publishers, etc. Libraries now have an opportunity to make a great contribution to this future and should help make this vision a reality.« This article gives a status report on the VIAF, a cooperative project of the Library of Congress, the Bibliotheque nationale de France, OCLC and the German National Library.

Die Vereinbarung bietet zudem den organisatorischen Rahmen, weitere Normdateien einbeziehen zu können. Der VIAF stellt einen wichtigen Baustein zur Interoperabilität zwischen den bibliothekarischen Nachweissystemen dar. Durch die Verlinkung der unterschiedlichen Namensformen für identische Personen bzw. Organisationen wird der VIAF schon in der nahen Zukunft die Recherche- und Nachnutzungsmöglichkeiten für Titeldaten aus dem englisch-, französisch- und deutschsprachigen Raum entscheidend verbessern, und es steht zu erwarten, dass er in den kommenden Jahren für eine sogar noch größere Zahl von Sprachgemeinschaften dieselben Vorteile bringen wird."

  In: http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/papers/123-Bennett-en.pdf.
  
  Abstract: Die Deutsche Bibliothek, the Library of Congress, and OCLC Online Computer Library Center are jointly developing a virtual international authority file (VIAF) for personal names which links authority records from the world's national bibliographic agencies and will be made freely available on the Web. The goals of the project are to prove the viability of automatically linking authority records from different national authority files and to demonstrate its benefits. The authority and bibliographic files from the Library of Congress and Die Deutsche Bibliothek were used to create the initial VIAF which contains over six million names with over a half million links. A key aspect of the project was the development of automated name matching algorithms which use information from both authority records and the corresponding bibliographic records. The practicality of algorithmically linking the personal names between national authority files was demonstrated; seventy percent of the authority records for personal names common to both files were automatically linked with an error rate of less than one percent. The long-term goal of the VIAF project is to combine the authoritative names from many national libraries and other significant sources into a shared global authority service.

  Gömpel, R. ; Frodl, C. ; Hengel, C. ; Kunz, M. ; Münnich, M. ; Werner, C.: Aus den Veranstaltungen der Division IV Bibliographic Control des Weltkongresses Bibliothek und Information, 69. IFLA-Generalkonferenz in Berlin.
  In: Bibliotheksdienst. 37(2003) H.10, S.1222-1245.
  
  Abstract: Unter dem Motto "Bibliothek als Portal: Medien - Information - Kultur" fand vom 1.-9. August 2003 in Berlin die 69. IFLA-Generalkonferenz erstmals unter ihrem neuen Namen "Weltkongress Bibliothek und Information" statt. Der Weltverband der Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare gastierte damit nach 1956 (München), 1968 (Frankfurt am Main), 1981 (Leipzig) und 1983 (München) bereits zum fünften Mal in Deutschland. Die Veranstaltung war von der IFLA und dem nationalen Organisationskomitee hervorragend organisier und wies mit 4.582 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern aus 131 Ländern eine erfreulich hohe Teilnehmerzahl auf. Bemerkenswert hoch war auch die deutsche Beteiligung mit über 972 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern. In dieser Zahl berücksichtigt sind auch die 197 freiwilligen Helferinnen und Helfer, die die erfolgreiche Durchführung des Kongresses überhaupt erst möglich machten. Die hohe deutsche Teilnehmerzahl ist ein eindeutiges Indiz dafür, dass seitens des IFLA-Nationalkomitees und des IFLA 2003Sekretariats sehr erfolgreich Überzeugungsarbeit geleistet wurde. Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass dieser Schwung auch das künftige deutsche Engagement bei den Weltkongressen dauerhaft positiv beeinflussen wird. Nachdem es erstmals in Glasgow im letzten Jahr gelungen war, die Konferenzzeitschrift "IFLA Express" in deutscher Sprache zu veröffentlichen, wurde auch in Berlin täglich eine deutsche Ausgabe produziert. Wie in den Vorjahren soll hier über die Veranstaltungen der Division IV Bibliographic Control berichtet werden'. Die Arbeit der Division mit ihren Sektionen Bibliography, Cataloguing, Classification and Indexing bildet einen der Schwerpunkte der IFLA-Arbeit, die dabei erzielten konkreten Ergebnisse und Empfehlungen haben maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die tägliche Arbeit der Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare. Die Tätigkeit der Division wird auch in Zukunft ergänzt durch Kernaktivitäten. Nachdem das bisherige Kernprogramm "Universal Bibliographic Control and International MARC (UBCIM)", dessen Büro von 1990 bis Februar 2003 an der Deutschen Bibliothek Frankfurt am Main angesiedelt war, mit dem Eintritt der bisherigen Leiterin Marie-France Plassard in den Ruhestand endete, eruieren die verantwortlichen IFLA-Gremien bereits in den Vorjahren Möglichkeiten, wie die Betreuung des Formates UNIMARC und die Fortführung eines Programms, das sich mit der universellen bibliographischen Kontrolle beschäftigt, sichergestellt werden könnten. Die portugiesische Nationalbibliothek hat nunmehr zu Beginn diesen Jahres die Pflege und Entwicklung von UNIMARC sowie die Herausgabe der Publikation "International Cataloguing and Bibliographic Control (ICBC)" übernommen. Darüber hinaus gelang es, mit der IFLA-CDNL Alliance for Bibliographic Standards (ICABS) ein neues strategisches Vorhaben für bibliographische Standards ins Leben zu rufen. Die feierliche Unterzeichnung der ICABS-Vereinbarung fand am 7. August 2003 im Rahmen der IFLA-Konferenz statt. Mit ICABS setzen die National Library of Australia, die Library of Congress, die British Library, die Koninklijke Bibliotheek und Die Deutsche Bibliothek gemeinsam mit der Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, der IFLA und der Conference of Directors of National Libraries (CDNL) die Koordination und Unterstützung von Schlüsselaktivitäten im Bereich der bibliographischen und der Ressourcen-Kontrolle sowie damit zusammenhängender Formatstandards fort.

  Kaiser, M. ; Lieder, H.J. ; Majcen, K. ; Vallant, H.: New ways of sharing and using authority information : the LEAF project.
  In: D-Lib magazine. 9(2003) no.11, x S.
  
  Abstract: This article presents an overview of the LEAF project (Linking and Exploring Authority Files)1, which has set out to provide a framework for international, collaborative work in the sector of authority data with respect to authority control. Elaborating the virtues of authority control in today's Web environment is an almost futile exercise, since so much has been said and written about it in the last few years.2 The World Wide Web is generally understood to be poorly structured-both with regard to content and to locating required information. Highly structured databases might be viewed as small islands of precision within this chaotic environment. Though the Web in general or any particular structured database would greatly benefit from increased authority control, it should be noted that our following considerations only refer to authority control with regard to databases of "memory institutions" (i.e., libraries, archives, and museums). Moreover, when talking about authority records, we exclusively refer to personal name authority records that describe a specific person. Although different types of authority records could indeed be used in similar ways to the ones presented in this article, discussing those different types is outside the scope of both the LEAF project and this article. Personal name authority records-as are all other "authorities"-are maintained as separate records and linked to various kinds of descriptive records. Name authority records are usually either kept in independent databases or in separate tables in the database containing the descriptive records. This practice points at a crucial benefit: by linking any number of descriptive records to an authorized name record, the records related to this entity are collocated in the database. Variant forms of the authorized name are referenced in the authority records and thus ensure the consistency of the database while enabling search and retrieval operations that produce accurate results. On one hand, authority control may be viewed as a positive prerequisite of a consistent catalogue; on the other, the creation of new authority records is a very time consuming and expensive undertaking. As a consequence, various models of providing access to existing authority records have emerged: the Library of Congress and the French National Library (Bibliothèque nationale de France), for example, make their authority records available to all via a web-based search service.3 In Germany, the Personal Name Authority File (PND, Personennamendatei4) maintained by the German National Library (Die Deutsche Bibliothek, Frankfurt/Main) offers a different approach to shared access: within a closed network, participating institutions have online access to their pooled data. The number of recent projects and initiatives that have addressed the issue of authority control in one way or another is considerable.5 Two important current initiatives should be mentioned here: The Name Authority Cooperative (NACO) and Virtual International Authority File (VIAF). ; NACO was established in 1976 and is hosted by the Library of Congress. At the beginning of 2003, nearly 400 institutions were involved in this undertaking, including 43 institutions from outside the United States.6 Despite the enormous success of NACO and the impressive annual growth of the initiative, there are requirements for participation that form an obstacle for many institutions: they have to follow the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) and employ the MARC217 data format. Participating institutions also have to belong to either OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) or RLG (Research Libraries Group) in order to be able to contribute records, and they have to provide a specified minimum number of authority records per year. A recent proof of concept project of the Library of Congress, OCLC and the German National Library-Virtual International Authority File (VIAF)8-will, in its first phase, test automatic linking of the records of the Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF) and the German Personal Name Authority File by using matching algorithms and software developed by OCLC. The results are expected to form the basis of a "Virtual International Authority File". The project will then test the maintenance of the virtual authority file by employing the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)9 to harvest the metadata for new, updated, and deleted records. When using the "Virtual International Authority File" a cataloguer will be able to check the system to see whether the authority record he wants to establish already exists. The final phase of the project will test possibilities for displaying records in the preferred language and script of the end user. Currently, there are still some clear limitations associated with the ways in which authority records are used by memory institutions. One of the main problems has to do with limited access: generally only large institutions or those that are part of a library network have unlimited online access to permanently updated authority records. Smaller institutions outside these networks usually have to fall back on less efficient ways of obtaining authority data, or have no access at all. Cross-domain sharing of authority data between libraries, archives, museums and other memory institutions simply does not happen at present. Public users are, by and large, not even aware that such things as name authority records exist and are excluded from access to these information resources.
