Hi *,

today we achieved to link 1.2 M lobid.org resources to Open Library work
resources, simply using isbn 10.
It seems that no commonly used identifier (that would be: viaf or GND or ...
and not an extra minted openlibrary identifier[1]) for creators in ol is given.
Identifier (among other things) help to disambiguate data so if you want to you
can enrich your data using our newly generated links. How to do that and a
little bit more of background at our blog:

https://wiki1.hbz-nrw.de/display/SEM/2012/05/23/1.2+M+links+to+Open+Library

Yes, and let me say "thank you" for your amazing work - this is just one more
fine example of what is achivable with LOD!

[1]it may be that there is already a concordance out there between i.e. viaf
and ol-Person-URIs, I don't know , just saw whats already there in the RDF
