Hoi,
This function is for OL to get a VIAF for every author with a book they
know the isbn for. Getting a Wikidata identificeren is great but
additional.
Adding this info to the OL database is the objective. Adding the Wikidata
identifier is also relevant. It is how OL gets a better connection between
our projects.
It may be a start for a good synchronsation between our projects. As a tool
we could provide a tool where we enter an ISDN and get the VIAF in return.
Thanks,
GerardM
