Hi all,
I understand this is probably outside the scope of Wikidata-l, but I am
looking for advice in what I am noticing is a somewhat re-occuring issue
with VIAF identifiers.
For a lot of items, I am finding 2 or more VIAF numbers for BLP subjects.
Recently I've found up to 4 VIAF numbers:
-
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q45311838
-
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q45311745
Is there coordination between Wikidata and VIAF that is automated and fixes
things like this.
I don't want to remove some of these VIAF numbers as they are tied to
"legit" authority bodies. I understand there is often a "main" VIAF
number...
Thanks in advance for any assistance and/or advice with this.
- Erika
