[Archivesspace_Users_Group] How are people integrating various ids like ISNI and VIAF in ArchivesSpace

[Eric Hanson]

We used the ‘Authority ID’ field associated with the authorized ‘Name’ in the Agent record as a way of including VIAF identifiers (screenshot attached).  We also used FAST and  AAT identifiers in the ‘Authority ID’ field for subject records. I’d be happy to chat about our approach to populating these fields if you’re interested

Hi there.

There are plans for a refactor of the agents module including a more complete adherence to the EAC-CPF scheme. A revision of the EAC-CPF specification is in a late draft. Cory Nimer at BYU is leading the charge on that, with comments coming from the community. The development roadmap should acknowledge planned work on this. I hope to see this functionality in 2017 as our organization could definitely use this.

Best, Jason

Caltech Library and Archives are looking to make more use of the agent/person objects in ArchivesSpace outside of ArchivesSpace itself.  One integration point could be to use common ids like ISNI http://www.isni.org,  VIAF http://viaf.org, or ORCIDs http://orcid.org as identifiers to link content with external systems. Are these on the road map to be included in ArchivesSpaces’ agent model? I think there is a field in EAC that would be used to hold these types of values but AS doesn’t seem to include them.  Am I missing something?



Thanks for the help and guidance,



Robert
