The authority data librarians curate are
about things (people, places, …)

Instead, they could give information on
documents about things
A discovery system revolving around
authorities is one way of achieving this
Filter to literature about:
Paris (France)
Paris (Texas)
Paris (Prince of Troy)

In the German speaking world, all
authorities are collected in the GND

The GND Ontology is a formalisation of
that entity-based model in OWL
In the DNB linked data service, we use
GNDO to build authority representations

<gnd:DifferentiatedPerson rdf:about="http://d-nb.info/gnd/118508288">
<gnd:publication>Grand Concerto pour le Piano forte. - s.a.</gnd:publication>

The RDF/OWL model has triggered
interesting re-use

SRU queries

ZBW employs data from the GND in a
lookup service for persons

http://www.museum-digital.de/thue/index.php?t=objekt&oges=477

museum-digital uses GND data to
provide contextual information

14 | 23

| Authority control and semantic interoperability | November 18, 2013
Libraries can leverage those structures to
build entity-centric discovery

15 | 23

| Authority control and semantic interoperability | November 18, 2013
Topical search can revolve around
subject headings

16 | 23

| Authority control and semantic interoperability | November 18, 2013
We can also explore networks of
persons

17 | 23

| Authority control and semantic interoperability | November 18, 2013
Through vocabulary interlinking we can
achieve (almost) true multilinguality

So is the use of semantic networks a
cure-all for navigation in libraries?
We often focus too much on books and
forget the authorities (people, places, …)

20 | 23

| Authority control and semantic interoperability | November 18, 2013
I see some
far-reaching
opportunities!

A discovery system revolving around
authorities can add new perspectives
Search engine integration of authorities
linked to bibliographic information can
drive traffic to libraries
