- Description
- THE FILE, SIGNED OUT, 2026-11-01: 'The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) is an international name authority service that combines multiple national library authority files into a single online database.' Key Features: operator (OCLC); origin (1998, Library of Congress, DNB, OCLC; 'launching formally in August 2003'); purpose ('linking variant names, pseudonyms, and corporate titles'); integration ('Each cluster receives a unique standard identifier/URI'); access. Six cards: VIAF, OCLC (two), Wikipedia, the LOD Cloud, the Semantic Web Journal.
- Reading
- The innocent reading first. Asked for the acronym, the Overview says what the file is, who runs it, where it came from, what it is for and how to use it.
- Analysis
- The authority file composed accurately on origin, operator and integration. On names it states a linkage of pseudonyms the saved source does not, and it gives the cluster identifier as unique where the source records its fluctuation.
- Match
- BROAD MATCH — 'VIAF' ON THE OVERVIEW — THE AUTHORITY FILE AT ITS GRAIN, ORIGIN AND OPERATOR EXACT; PSEUDONYMS LINKED; THE CLUSTER IDENTIFIER GIVEN AS 'UNIQUE', WHERE THE SAVED ACCOUNT HAS IT COALESCE AND SPLIT
- PER
- 0.25 — OCLC named as operator, the Library of Congress and DNB as initiators; no example identifier; sources carded.
