Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the reciprocal relationship between VIAF® and Wikidata and their possible roles in the semantic web environment. It deals with their data, their approach, their domain, and their stakeholders, with particular attention to identification as a fundamental goal of Universal Bibliographic Control. After examining interrelationships among VIAF, Wikidata, libraries and other GLAM institutions, a double approach is used to compare VIAF and Wikidata: first, a quantitative analysis of VIAF and Wikidata data on personal entities, presented in eight tables; and second, a qualitative comparison of several general characteristics, such as purpose, scope, organizational and theoretical approach, data harvesting and management (shown in table 9). Quantitative data and qualitative comparison show that VIAF and Wikidata are quite different in their purpose, scope, organizational and theoretical approach, data harvesting, and management. The study highlights the reciprocal role of VIAF and Wikidata and its helpfulness in the worldwide bibliographical context and in the semantic web environment and outlines new perspectives for research and cooperation.

本文旨在研究VIAF®和Wikidata之间的相互关系，以及它们在语义网络环境中可能扮演的角色。它涉及他们的数据、方法、领域和利益相关者，特别注意将识别作为通用书目控制的基本目标。在研究了VIAF、Wikidata、图书馆和其他GLAM机构之间的相互关系后，使用了双重方法来比较VIAF和Wikidata：首先，对个人实体的VIAF和Wiki数据进行定量分析，以八个表的形式呈现；其次，对几个一般特征进行了定性比较，如目的、范围、组织和理论方法、数据收集和管理（如表9所示）。定量数据和定性比较表明，VIAF和Wikidata在目的、范围、组织和理论方法、数据收集和管理方面有很大不同。该研究强调了VIAF和Wikidata的相互作用及其在全球书目环境和语义网络环境中的帮助，并概述了研究与合作的新视角。
