Normdatenverknüpfungen aus Culturegraph für die Bildungsforschung (und darüber hinaus)

Abstract

The Specialised Information Service for Educational Science and Educational Research (FID Erziehungswissenschaft und Bildungsforschung) aims to systematically link its bibliographic records in the Education Research Portal (Fachportal Pädagogik) with authority data. A higher degree of standardization in the field of authorship of scientific publications offers advantages in the unambiguous identification of authors, interconnectedness and reliability of records and entities, and in making further information about individuals more easily accessible. Authority data links are also important for creating author profile pages in the Education Research Portal so that biographical information can be retrieved. The German National Library (DNB) has developed and established processes for disambiguating persons and enriching bibliographic records with links to name authority records for several years. These processes are based on forming work clusters amongst the extensive holdings of Culturegraph (DNB, regional library networks in Germany and Austria). Recently, an opportunity was created to incorporate external datasets on a project basis into the work-clustering process, enabling the identification of the corresponding personal authority records in the German Integrated Authority File (GND). Against the background of these aims both institutions have entered this cooperation. For the main bibliographical collections of the Education Research Portal, the German Education Index (FIS Bildung Literaturdatenbank), as well as a version of the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database, approximately 365,000 links to personal authority records in the GND were successfully identified in 270,000 bibliographical records. Open Researcher and Contributor IDs (ORCID iDs) were also determined by using a mapping of GND control numbers and ORCID iDs.
