Ben, Yes, I copied from the browser URIs, and that was sloppy. However,
it was the quickest thing to do, plus it was addressed to a human, not a
machine. The URI for the LC entry is there on the page. Unfortunately,
the VIAF URI is called "Permalink" -- which isn't obvious.
I guess if I want anyone to answer my emails, I need to post mistakes.
When I post correct information, my mail goes unanswered (not even a
"thanks"). So, thanks, guys.

Karen,
The URIs you gave get me to webpages *about* the Declaration of
Independence. I'm sure it's just a copy/paste mistake, but in this context
you want the exact right URIs of course. And by "better" I guess you meant
"probably more widely used" and "probably longer lasting"? :)
LOC URI for the DoI (the work) is without .html:
http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79029194
VIAF URI for the DoI is without trailing /:
http://viaf.org/viaf/179420344

Eric, I found an even better URI for you for the Declaration of
Independence:
http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79029194.html
Now that could be seen as being representative of the name chosen by the
LC Name Authority, but the related VIAF record, as per the VIAF
definition of itself, represents the real world thing itself. That URI is:
http://viaf.org/viaf/179420344/
I noticed that this VIAF URI isn't linked from the Wikipedia page, so I
will add that.
