The document discusses VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) and ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier), two systems that work to connect the world's libraries by providing interoperable identity management. It summarizes the complementary roles and systems of VIAF and ISNI, including their different scopes, functions, and quality processes. It also provides examples of how ISNI identifies issues in VIAF records and works with contributing libraries to resolve them.

- Started with 1 million assigned – in November 2011 – mostly VIAF 3 + sources, now there are 2.7 million assigned ISNIs with non VIAF sources attached- More than 90% ISNIs with VIAF as a source. 39% of VIAF clusters have an ISNI (in 2011 was 10%)Explain this evolution (more ISNI sources and unique name assignment. And unique name assignment was possible because rich metadata…
- This slide only shows assigned ISNIs for the different VIAF sources, giving the totals, assigned, percentage and the number of unique names.BnF example1067572 assigned (ca 62 % of “complete” authority records )Ingestion of ISNI in the BnF catalogue. Importance of persistent identifiers in the libraries metadata (ISNI is one of them).
- This is a list of non VIAF ISNI sources and the numbers of links from those sources to VIAF clusters. The numbers of links from ISNI sources to VIAF sources is over 7.3 million.
- ISNI’s scope overlaps but is not identical to VIAF’s scope. For persons, ISNI includes all VIAF (except sparse and undifferentiated records) plus includes many persons involved with music and research not present in VIAF.Also, unlike VIAF, ISNI includes private data that may be used for matching but not displayed or diffused publically. Such data includes dates of birth (actors in particular do not like their dates of birth publicized because it limits the parts that they are offered). Rights management associations are also not permitted to reveal the relationships between real persons and pseudonyms. Witness the recent case of JK Rowling publishing crime novels under a pseudonym and being irked that her cover was revealed by her Lawyers.
- ISNI’s role is different from VIAF’s. ISNI creates a permanent ID and is required to keep the ID as stable as possible, and where it changes must diffuse corrections. ISNI diffuses cross domain – libraries, trade, rights management, professional socieities, edicuation.
- ISNI includes and online request and maintenance capabilityImproved data quality and confidenceAnomaly reports – 7,000 date anomalies (>50% represent real errors)Merge, split and data error reports (c. 5,000)Matching improvementsDates, common surnames, longest name form, weightings, new elementsDetection of UNIMARC Conversion errorsparallel main names, name variant conversion, related names conversion, missed dataPseudonymsFeedback, record links (c. 70,000)More widely diffused linked dataProposal for inter-operation – joint notification, shared maintenance

- The image at the top of the screen is the ISNI record – where the 3 VIAF records have been merged into a record also including data from British Library Sound Archive and MusicBrainz.The image at the bottom shows 3 VIAF clusters for the same identity. As VIAF ingests ISNI as a VIAF source, ISNI merges will be adopted by VIAF.
- VIAF’s policy is to prevent cluster merges where there would be 2 records from the same source in the cluster. ISNI’s policy is to assign an ISNI where there are 3 or more VIAF sources (except where there is a possible match indicated). ISNI has marked just under 500,000 VIAF clusters as possible duplicates.Thus ISNI makes duplicate assignment where there are 2 or more VIAF clusters for the same identity, each having more than 3 VIAF sources.ISNI also makes duplicate clusters where an ISNI source matches a VIAF cluster that is not assigned but another VIAF cluster is assigned.For a short period, where there were multiple clusters for the same identity, VIAF sources could move between clusters; this too brought along the risk of ISNI making duplicate assignments. This problem at VIAF has since been resolved.
- Example of a VIAF cluster with multiple identities. The main identity is an English playwright. 4 sources have caused the incorrect result. Problem is that these incorrect assertions can multiply with libraries regarding each other as authoritative sources.It is important to make these corrections
- A search of Amazon for Peter Nichols leads to a page where Peter Nicholls writing about Italy and the Vatican is clearly differentiated from Peter Richard Nichols, 1927, the playwright.
- ISNI and VIAF differ in the treatment of pseudonyms. Some VIAF sources treat pseudonyms as related identities (as ISNI policy) and some treat them as name variants. ISNI, where it identifies a pseudonym as a name variant changes it to a related name.
- A VIAF ISNI task force is proposed with, to begin with an agenda including a joint policy on pseudonyms, study of notification work flows; helping with cluster sampling and anomaly detection.
