Neat!
Just tried the human-displayed links off the Immanuel Kant wikipedia
page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_Kant), created by the
'Authority Control' template that Daniel or someone else added.
VIAF one works great, taking me to the human readable VIAF page.
PND one seems to work too, taking me to the authority page in the
Deutsche National Bibliothek.
The LCCN one does not work. Tries to take me to:
http://errol.oclc.org/laf/n79021614.html
Which results in an HTTP 500 error from the OCLC server.
Since this template apparently generates a URL to an OCLC service
(rather than LC? I guess maybe LC itself doesn't have the right
permalinks?), I think that OCLC probably ought to fix this. If the
template is not creating the right URL, I guess you've got to work with
wikipedia to fix it. Or fix your end to accept those URLs properly.

Hey Daniel,
It looks like you used the worldcat template [1]:
{{worldcat id|id=lccn-n79-21614|VIAF=82088490}}
which doesn't actually do anything with the VIAF parameter. Instead
(or as well) you'll want to use the Authority control template:
{{Authority control|PND=118559796|LCCN=n/79/21614|VIAF=82088490}}
After I did that and the crawl ran again it showed up at linkypedia
[3]. Thanks for giving it a try!

That's really cool, Ed. I just added the viaf # for Immanuel Kant. Took just a
few seconds. I'll subscribe to the linkypedia rss feed and watch for
notification.

Big +1 for promoting the use of the Authority Control Wikipedia
template.I know i'm being a bit of a broken record, but you can watch

Also, re: Jonathan's good advice to check out Wikipedia Miner [1] I
just ran across Duke [2] today, which looks like it could help guide
record linking a bit.
"""
Duke is a fast and flexible deduplication (or entity resolution, or
record linkage) engine written in Java on top of Lucene. At the moment
(2011-04-07) it can process 1,000,000 records in 11 minutes on a
standard laptop in a single thread.
"""
Haven't tried it yet, so YMMV, etc.
