[Koha] VIAF, Wikidata, and ISNI

[Stefano Bargioni]

Hi, Kazım,
for a discussion of reuse especially based on Wikidata, please see https://jlis.fupress.net/index.php/jlis/article/view/61
A Javascript only AuthorityBox is implemented in the URBS or PIAC Koha ILSes. Examples:
http://koha-urbs.reteurbs.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=237119
https://catalogo.piac.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=17784
Note that to implement the AuthorityBox in your OPAC, you need a Wikidata property for your authority records (agent names).
URBS property is is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P8750, PIAC is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P8982.
Your practice to add the author's VIAF, Wikidata, and ISNI URIs to the authority records will help a lot to populate your property.
With a Wikidata property, your Koha will be part of the LOD cloud.
