Use of VIAF URIs:

  • To facilitate interoperability, OCLC strongly encourages the use of VIAF URI's in all appropriate circumstances. The canonical structure of a VIAF URI is http://viaf.org/viaf/[numerical value] (Example: http://viaf.org/viaf/49224511)

Compliance with Section 4.3 of the ODC Attribution License

  • Adherence to ODC Attribution instructions for the correct assertion of attribution is encouraged. The preferred form of attribution for VIAF is:
    "This [title of report or article or dataset] contains information from VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) which is made available under the ODC Attribution License."
  • Special cases: In circumstances where providing the full attribution statement above is not technically feasible, the use of canonical VIAF URIs is adequate to satisfy Section 4.3 of the ODC Attribution License.
