Authority File

In this webinar for the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) I argue for structured Linked Data-ready data in library catalogues. This serves as a single source of truth and eases further steps towards Linked Open Data for example for the Belgian Bibliography.

In this presentation at a study day on the Visual Name Authority project of the Flemish archiving institution meemoo, I talk about possible data governance for the MetaBelgica project. I do this by referring to data governance of the Gemeinsame Normdatei (GND) in German-speaking countries and recent research.

In this presentation at the first Conference on Research Data Infrastructure, I present the MetaBelgica project for the first time to the public. Four Federal Belgian institutions join forces to collaboratively maintain authority data and make them available as FAIR data.

This paper introduces the MetaBelgica project that aims to fill the gap for Belgian Authority data related to Cultural Heritage.
