It either has to use names, or it has to use identifiers for entries from the libraries in VIAF. For the moment, I expect that we will be using a string match on names (and exactly how that match will work is another matter) because OL is not receiving bibliographic records with the identifiers. Also note that there is no explicit CC0 on the LC data.
