The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) is an international authority file. It is a joint project of several national libraries and operated by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC). The project was initiated by the German National Library and the US Library of Congress.The aim is to link the national authority files (such as the German Name Authority File) to a single virtual authority file. In this file identical records from the different data sets are linked together.
