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. A VIAF record receives a standard data number, contains the primary "see" and "see also" records from the original records, and refers to the original authority records. The data are made available online and are available for research and data exchange and sharing. Reciprocal updating uses the Open Archives Initiative protocol.
The file numbers are also being added to Wikipedia biographical articles and are incorporated into Wikidata.
A film montage by Antonio Ferrera realized on the occasion of the Independent Curators International's Leo Award ceremony in 2010. The Leo Award named after the late, renowned art dealer Leo Castelli, was created to honor life-time achievements in advancing the field of contemporary art. Christo and Jeanne-Claude (in memoriam) were honored in recognition of the example they provided younger generations in their independent attitude to developing ambitious public projects, as well as their inspiring approach to collaborative practice. Leo Castelli was one of the first persons to exhibit Christo's work in the USA in 1964, with his first solo exhibition in his gallery occurring in 1966.

Dec. 31 -- It was just over a decade ago, when the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude installed some 7,500 saffron "gates" in Central Park. That art installation captured the public's imagination for sixteen days, and made Christo and Jeanne-Claude household names. Now, Christo is preparing to unveil a new project in Northern Italy. The artist sat down with Bloomberg's David Gura to talk about it. (Video updated to adjust timing.) Like this video?
