The central authority file of persons maintained by the National Documentation Centre (EKT). It includes more than 80,000 individuals and is used by EKT’s scientific content infrastructures, such as the National Archive of PhD Theses, EKT ePublishing, the AK E Index, and the EKT institutional repository “Ariadne”, among others. The authority file has been developed entirely by EKT staff through the use of numerous semi-automated processes for enrichment, correction, merging, and data consolidation. The vocabulary resources have been enriched with a wide range of international identifiers (e.g. Scopus, Google Scholar, VIAF, ResearchGate), as well as links to relevant webpages about the individual (e.g. Wikipedia, BIBLIONET, Academia) and additional contextual information.
