Dear friends,
Few days ago I started to add links to YIVO Encyclopedia.
a) These can be found via a capital "YIVO" in the following list: /commonknowledge/search.php?f=13&exact=0&q=YIVO.
b) The authors linked via a lowercase "yivo" are either article authors at YIVO Encyclopedia or are refered there.
c) The LT author pages contain links to Wikipedia (if articles in any available language could be found), links to WorldCat identities, links VIAF (Virtual International Authority File).
d) The LT author pages contain some initial LT Common knowledge, in many places urls based on Latin and Hebrew spellings are combined; some dummy urls for Yiddish spellings where generated in order to simplify search for LT author.
e) ongoing: addition of Canonical names following the author names used at YIVO Encyclopedia
This is not an one day job. Any help is welcomed!
VIAF id's are not unique. For many authors the national bodies have variants which are not linkified jet. Hope that some day many authors will have VIAF numbers like http://viaf.org/viaf/41847346/ Turgenev, Ivan Sergeevich or http://viaf.org/viaf/7524651/ Aristotle.
Hope that some day we will have a proper smart implementation of VIAF interproject linking both at LT, Wikipedia, YIVO Encyclopedia and its partner sites.
