Description

For more details on this topic, see Authority control and Wikipedia:Authority control.

This metadata template links Wikipedia articles to various library catalogue systems. At the moment, it is used almost exclusively in biographical articles.

Supported authority files
  1. Virtual International Authority File (VIAF)
  2. Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN)
  3. International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI)
  4. Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID)
  5. Integrated Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei or GND)
  6. LIBRIS by the National Library of Sweden (SELIBR)
  7. National Library of France (Bibliothèque nationale de France or BNF)
  8. Dutch Biography Portal (Biografisch Portaal or BPN)
  9. ResearcherID (RID)
  10. BIBSYS (BIBSYS)
  11. Union List of Artist Names (ULAN)
  12. MusicBrainz Artist ID (MBA)
  13. National Library of Australia (NLA)
Deprecated
  1. Corporate Bodies Authority File (Gemeinsame Körperschaftsdatei or GKD), now part of GND
  2. Name Authority File (Personennamendatei or PND), now part of GND
  3. Subject Headings Authority File (Schlagwortnormdatei or SWD), now part of GND

Wikidata content is used as fallback for the BNF, BPN, GND, ISNI, LCCN, MBA, ORCID, ULAN, NLA and VIAF identifiers.

Wherever possible, the template also generates a link to WorldCat Identities, using the LCCN variable. (It will shortly be possible to link using VIAF values—this is being tested by OCLC and will be activated in the template as soon as it goes live.) The template is placed after the "External links" section and above "Persondata".

Usage

{{Authority control |VIAF=xxxxxx |LCCN=n/xx/xxxxxx |ORCID=xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx |GND=xxxxxx |SELIBR=xxxxxx |BNF=xxxxxx |BPN=xxxxx |RID=xxxxx |BIBSYS=xxxxx |ULAN=xxxxx |MBA=xxxxxx |NLA=xxxxxxx}}

{{Authority control |VIAF= |LCCN= |ORCID= |GND= |SELIBR= |BNF= |BPN= |RID= |BIBSYS= |ULAN= |MBA= |NLA=}}
The following data sources are accepted
Parameter Scope Name Search Remarks
VIAF People Virtual International Authority File [1] International authority data from the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC)
LCCN People Library of Congress Control Number [2] See Wikipedia:Authority control#LCCN for formatting instructions
ISNI People International Standard Name Identifier [3] [4] ISNI is a method for uniquely identifying the public identities of contributors to media content such as books, TV programmes, and newspaper articles.
ORCID People ORCID [5] Authority data on researchers, academics, etc. The ID range has been defined as a subset of the forthcoming ISNI range. For free text links, it is also possible to use {{ORCID}}. Authors—including Wikipedia editors—may obtain an ORCID by signing up at orcid.org.
GND All Integrated Authority File (Gemeinsame Normdatei) [6] [7] Authority data on people, corporations and subjects from the German National Library
SELIBR People LIBRIS [8] Authority data from the National Library of Sweden
BNF People Bibliothèque nationale de France [9] (in French) Authority data of people listed in the general catalogue of the National Library of France
BPN People Dutch Biography Portal (Biografisch Portaal) [10] Dutch project with material for 40,000 digitized biographies, including former colonies of the Netherlands.
RID People ResearcherID [11] An identifying system for scientific authors. The system was introduced in January 2008 by Thomson Reuters. The combined use of the Digital Object Identifier with the ResearcherID allows for a unique association of authors and scientific articles.
BIBSYS People BIBSYS [12] BIBSYS is a supplier of library and information systems for all Norwegian university Libraries, the National Library of Norway, college libraries, and a number of research libraries and institutions.
ULAN Artists Union List of Artist Names [13] ULAN is an online database using a controlled vocabulary currently containing around 293,000 names and other information about artists. Names in ULAN may include given names, pseudonyms, variant spellings, names in multiple languages, and names that have changed over time (e.g., married names).
MBA Artists MusicBrainz Artist ID [14] MusicBrainz is an open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public.
NLA People or groups National Library of Australia [15] NLA Trove’s People and Organisation view allows the discovery of biographical and other contextual information about people and organisations. Search also available via VIAF.
The following data sources are deprecated

Examples

{{Authority control |VIAF=59263727 |LCCN=n/79/113947 |ISNI=0000 0000 8138 6064 |GND=119408643 |BNF=13746617f |MBA=9dd93d09-24b4-41f1-a48b-ef48b07499c3 }} – for Alexander Graham Bell produces: Lua error in Module:Authority_control at line 358: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).


{{Authority control |VIAF=66861474 |LCCN=n/87/142671 |ISNI=0000 0001 0911 2808 |GND=117421863 }} – for Harry Forbes Witherby produces:Lua error in Module:Authority_control at line 358: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

Categories

The template applies the following categories:

Wikidata

The template can get its information from Wikidata:

!Parameter Type Property ID
VIAF VIAF p214
LCCN LCCN p244
ISNI ISNI p213
ORCID ORCID p496
GND GND p227
SELIBR LIBRIS p906
BNF BNF p268
BPN BPN p651
ULAN ULAN p245
MBA MBA p434
NLA NLA p409

The MusicBrainz Artist ID is currently restricted to items that have occupation set to either:

or are an instance of band.

If none of these is applicable, it can be forced with: {{authority control|MBA={{#Property:P434}}}} which for The Beatles would produce: Lua error in Module:Authority_control at line 358: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Note that for The beatles {{authority control}} would work out of the box already.

RID (ResearcherID) and BIBSYS do not currently have properties.

Microformat

The template wraps each UID value with the HTML markup: <span class="uid">...</span>, which enables the first-found value to be included in an hCard microformat. For that reason, VIAF, where present, is emitted first.
