I have seen this at one of our schools. In our case it was because their spam filter sees the from address of whoe...@theirschool.edu, and does not recognize our mail server as a valid sender for their domain. We modified the from address to not be from their domain, and it now happily accepts

Update: Somebody offline asked why the diagrams have links to external Swiss and German authority resources, but not LC. The reason is that LC doesn't currently publish their name authority file as linked data. When they do, the owl:sameAs links to their URIs can be added to VIAF.

I like that you said when rather than if, heh. Have you guys at VIAF made it clear to LC that you'd consider them publishing in linked data to be a complement to VIAF, rather than duplication? I think maybe some people think it'd be duplication, which I think is not true. -Original

It would make perfect sense for LC to publish the LCNAF in their id.loc.gov domain. I think the foaf:focus pattern is important for name authorities, though, and would encourage them to coin two URIs instead of just one. For example: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/n50042127#concept a

The challenge I like to present to libraries is this: imagine that your entire collection is digital. Does it include Shakespeare? Does it include Moby Dick? Yes! Just because you don't have to pay for these works, doesn't mean that they don't belong in your library. And what if many modern
