This article reviews the founding, current state, and potential future of VIAF®, the Virtual International Authority File. VIAF consists of an aggregation of bibliographic and authority data from ...over 50 national agencies and infrastructures, systems that follow different cataloging practices and contain hundreds of languages. After a short history of the project, the results of surveys for implementers of linked data projects on the use of VIAF data and provides suggestions for future use and sustainability Publisher's text.
With the introduction of the IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM), authority control is becoming increasingly important, as authority data will play a key role in the network of linked data. ...Therefore, the preparation of authority data will help to facilitate the implementation of IFLA LRM and will be useful in the transition to RDA (Resource Description and Access).
The paper presents an overview of authority data in the COBISS system, with a focus on the Slovenian COBISS.SI system, and suggests possibilities for the future development of authority records. It presents the status of the authority databases CONOR.SI and SGC, the submission of authority records to the VIAF service, and the acquisition and use of identifiers for personal and corporate body names. It also outlines IZUM’s plans for the transition to a new catalogue that will be in line with the IFLA LRM conceptual model. The basis for the development of the new COBISS catalogue is the selection of as large a set of entities as possible to be realised in authority records and the establishment of relationships between them.
The article presents the results of the qualitative and quantitative analysis of SBN authority records for personal names, by the comparison of two datasets, the former based on data sent to VIAF in ...2021 (PRE) and the latter on data taken from the SBN OPAC shortly after the publication of Alphabetica, the new ICCU portal (POST). The aim of the study was to establish whether the quality of the authority records actually corresponds to the requirements specified by SBN for the entries of level 90 and above. In addition, the study aimed to verify whether the system of production and publication of authority records, based on the authority levels of entries and of cataloguers, is still current or not, also with respect to the novelties introduced by Alphabetica. The analysis shows that a re-levant percentage of authority records (both in PRE and in POST) do not meet the requirements, that the choice of publication of records according to the levels of authority does not match to the standards and to the choices of other national bibliographic agencies, and that the innovations introduced in Alphabetica sug-gest a change of perspective in the organisation of SBN authority work.

The purpose of Digital Library system is collection of electronic objects. The "authorities" module runs the entire mechanism for fetching the authority data from the remote server. The study ...explores mechanisms for integration activities behind the authority control and practical evaluation. This study has been done on the publicly accessible online library OPAC through Google Form tools. It demonstrates that all authority control tools can manage several headings than just one or a few. The research seeks explanation through systematically searching observations of Online OPAC databases for studies of authority control. According to the findings, AuthorityBox is a Koha add-on that enhances the system's functionality. It complies with VIAF identifiers and other MARC21 authority data to compliance with RDA Cataloguing Guidelines. The open source integrated library system Koha enables easy authority import into the ILS-OPAC search engine. Statistically, Haringhata Mahavidyalaya, West Bengal, India used the most authority terms, with 24,820 personal names and 53,256 topical terms. This study reviews the many recommendations and techniques for designing a library discovery authority framework. It also focuses on the software and standards for integrating VIAF with Koha, VuFind, and Google Custom Search Engine for importing authority data from other libraries via the Z39.50 server.
If used up to their most important recommendations, RDA guidelines lead to a semantic web oriented catalog. Both authority and bibliographic records require to be curated, especially under the point ...of view of persistent identifiers, connecting entities to relevant external resources, thus boosting the navigability of the retrieved information and finally of the whole catalog. To dramatically improve these goals, also established records need to be provided with links, URIs, or persistent identifiers. An automatic approach was studied and applied in two phases to authority records of a Koha catalog. A new tool was created and added to the detailed display of a bibliographic record in order to show valuable information for each agent having a responsibility.

...in her close scrutiny of the expo, she regularly returns to the Soviet and particularly the Ukrainian contributions. Makaryk follows the influence of these revelations when whole sections of the ...expo were imported to New York the following year, as part of an International Theatre Exposition, sponsored by the city's "little theatres." Since the designs and models were organized by the Austrian Friedrich Kiesler, his manifestos and modular supports were prominent. In her final chapter, Makaryk follows this up: briefly mentioning the effects of art deco on department store layout and Hollywood design, she traces its influence in France on the Cartel des Quatre (the directors Baty, Dullin, Jouvet, and Pitoëff) and on American theatre practice.
