ISO 2146 (Registry Services for Libraries and Related Organisations) is an international standard currently under development by ISO TC46 SC4 WG7 to operate as a framework for building registry services for libraries and related organisations. It takes the form of an information model that identifies the objects and data elements needed for the collaborative construction of registries of all types. It is not bound to any specific protocol or data schema. The aim is to be as abstract as possible, in order to facilitate a shared understanding of the common processes involved, across multiple communities of practice.
Libraries do something they call "name authority control". For most people in IT, this would be called "assigning unique identifiers to names." Identifying authors is considered one of the essential aspects of library cataloging, and it isn't done in any other bibliographic environment, as far as I know.
VIAF: The Virtual International Authority File
VIAF is a joint project of the Library of Congress (LC), the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB), the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), and OCLC. The project's goal is to match and link the library authority files.
The search box at the top of this page searches a prototype of VIAF, which is derived from the personal name authority and related bibliographic data of LC, DNB, and BnF. Matches are shown as links between records (in MARC-21 998 fields).
More information can be found at the OCLC Research VIAF Project page.
The second worldwide review of the Functional Requirements for Authority Data was completed in mid-2007. The Working Group is completing work in a new draft which incorporates comments received during the review. When complete, the draft will be submitted to Division IV for approval.
In the meantime, the draft used in the second worldwide review remains available. Readers of the document should be aware that there will be many changes in the final version.
