Creating stable VIVO URIs for local authority records

Background:

- Approximately 40% of faculty members are represented in the Library of Congress Name Authority File (based on study at Texas A&M)

- University Libraries create local name authority files to capture all the faculty

- VIVO can solve this problem on a larger scale

Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PPC) Task Group on the creation and

Function of Name Authorities in a Non-MARC Environment:

“• How to relate external named entity identifiers and information to library authority data • How to relate external named entity identifiers and information to library bibliographic data • How to structure library authority data to optimize its utility in a linked data environment as well as in library systems”

“URIs for each faculty member from VIVO instances can be good

candidates for this project since the Program for Cooperative Cataloging

(PCC) realizes that not all faculty members have Name Authority Records (NARs) in the Library of

Congress Name Authority File” Violeta Ilik to Jon Corson-Rikert, September 12, 2013

Goal:

Registering VIVO URIs with OCLC PURL server?

Making vivoweb.org/ontology URIs persistent

If datasets are considered scholarly products, then our VIVO profiles should be able to reference our activities in creating, maintaining, curating and disseminating them. Where is the VIVO inside?

What is ORCID doing about organizational identifiers?

Waiting for ISNI organization identifiers to be ready Seeded organizations from Ringgold for links between ORCID

IDs and organizations for education and employment Funding linking will integrate CrossRef's FundRef organization

list http://www.crossref.org/fundref/fundref_registry.html donated from Elsevier

Disambiguated organizations across the two and have shared back to Ringgold and FundRef

Expecting the ISNI identifiers to serve as the linking identifier between various organization lists

How shall VIVO best take this into account? VIVO person URIs have various kinds of relationships to these organizations
