Hi Erika,
The team page needs to be updated, but I'll pass the thread along to them: http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/viaf.html Jeff ________________________________ From: Wikidata <[email protected]> on behalf of Brill Lyle <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 17, 2017 3:56:05 AM To: Discussion list for the Wikidata project. Subject: Re: [Wikidata] Identifiers: Multiple VIAF numbers Thanks Thad. That was very helpful. So Jeff, if you aren't the contact from OCLC who works with VIAF, can you tell us who is, and if they have any plans to address this issue? :-) Best, - Erika Erika Herzog Wikipedia User:BrillLyle<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BrillLyle> On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 12:32 PM, Young,Jeff (OR) <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I agree that “named entity” makes more sense. I’ll pass that edit suggestion along to the folks who maintain the page. Here is a blog post from 2011 where we talk about remodeling VIAF into a coherent hub-and-spoke model revolving around the entity itself. http://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing/2011/04/changes-to-viafs-rdf.html Jeff
