Abstract
ISNI and VIAF – Transforming ways of trustfully consolidating identities
This article presents ISNI and VIAF as major initiatives leveraging the library Authority control. They are significantly changing the international landscape of bibliographic control addressing the challenge of reliably identifying people in the rapidly emerging global knowledge network. Both systems are built on the principles of UBC. Further, they are revitalising these principles by promoting a global economy in which the library authority data are playing a leading role in the Linked Data chain. The article presents ISNI and VIAF in complementary relation with one another and invites libraries worldwide to become full players in both initiatives.ISNI et VIAF transforment le paysage : pour des identités fiables et solides
Cet article présente ISNI et VIAF, deux grandes initiatives d’optimisation du contrôle d’autorité. Elles changent de manière significative le paysage international du contrôle bibliographique en relevant le défi de l’identification fiable des contributeurs dans un réseau global des connaissances en expansion. Les deux systèmes sont conçus sur les principes du contrôle bibliographique universel. De surcroît, ils donnent à ces principes une nouvelle vie en promouvant une économie globale où les données d’autorité jouent un rôle moteur dans la chaîne des liens du dans le web de données (Linked data). L’article montre la complémentarité d’ISNI et de VIAF et encourage les bibliothèques du monde entier à prendre part à ces deux initiatives.| Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | ||||||||||||
