The Virtual International Authority Files Project which is under charge of OCLC is an important project of integrating existing authority data. This paper summarizes the VIAF's progress, introduces its origination, content, aims, development history, data generation, and the function of VIAF services to end users. After summarizing the VIAF's use case in other projects such as ISNI, Wikipedia and SNAC, and at last, this paper gives some implications for the name authority work in our country: we should be one of the contributors to VIAF so that we could share Chinese authority data worldwide, integrating minorities authority data to construct our Virtual national Authority Files and integrating name authority resources beyond the bibliography data.
Key words: VIAF; Virtual International Authority File; linked data; name authority
