Name Disambiguation for Digital Collections: Planning a Linked Data App for Authority Control at Texas A&M University Libraries
Abstract
This presentation describes plans that are being made for the creation of an “authority control” app for names within repositories at Texas A&M University. The purpose of this app is to serve as a tool for library staff, external metadata providers, and repository users to identify and disambiguate individual persons, as well as link to contextual data in external sources (e.g., Library of Congress Name Authority File, ISNI, ORCID, etc.).
