Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2012-05-16 01:32:46 UTC
Hi!

en.WP and many other WP's which are using clones / variants of [[template:Authority control]] are providing a link to WorldCat.org at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#normdaten.

Please note that http://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n79-22889 and http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/lccn-n79-22889 are showing nearly the same information.

VIAF numbers which are not known at LoC (sometimes mentioned as LC and other times LCCN) it is possible to identify "/identities/" urls from the VIAF number. This guess / search is easier as the standard http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/find?fullName=Petrosian%2C+Tigran whih may fail with UTF-8 characters.

a) identification of candidates using VIAF numbers:
http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-101695361# from VIAF:101695361
http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-100527838# from VIAF:100527838
http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-11025031# from VIAF:11025031

Please label the link "¿orlabs?"
"ALT"-text: "orlabs candidate"
link trailer: "#"

----
should not be implemented:
b) identification of candidates using GND / PND  numbers:
http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-DNB%7C108794229 from GND:108794229
this is an "oclc.org--redirect" to http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-12857285#
http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-DNB%7C120350890 from GND:120350890
this is a (multiple) "oclc.org--redirect" to http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-171120706#

Best regards Reinhardt

Note: The parameter used to support these vaules in [[template:Authority control]] is "|WORLDCATID=viaf-101695361".
The "|" character can not be used without url encoding in templates. This is why some template clones are using "|WORLDCATID-URL-TYPE=124".

Clarification request:

What *exactly* do you want me to implement ?
Comment 2 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2012-05-20 02:43:31 UTC
For Pedersen, Michael ::VIAF:164967251::
http://www.librarything.com/author/pedersenmichael&norefer=1&all=1
I identified a WolrdCat = orlabs.oclc.org link
http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-164967251

It can be used in authority control templates using
|WORLDCATID=viaf-164967251| syntax.
----
From any VIAF number one can generate a link labeled "¿orlabs?"
"ALT"-text: "orlabs candidate"
link trailer: "#"
protocol is http:// - ( https:// does not work for me https://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-164967251 )

The link is generated from the following parts:
http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-
(the value of the VIAF number)
an ending / safety trailer "#".

Thanks in advance!
Comment 3 T. Gries 2012-05-20 05:22:37 UTC
Short version (pls. always say what you want in few words)

On page http://www.librarything.com/author/pedersenmichael&norefer=1&all=1
please detect link http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-(VIAF)

Please generate a link labeled "¿orlabs?"
+ "ALT"-text: "orlabs candidate"
+ http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-(VIAF)#
Comment 4 T. Gries 2012-05-20 05:38:22 UTC
fixed in r115402 version 1.20
Comment 5 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2012-05-20 07:42:04 UTC
Thanks! A positive site effect:
at http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-164967251#VIAF
I can see also and bookmark http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/viaf-167777947#VIAF
Comment 6 lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2012-05-24 06:02:10 UTC
The google links are broken since four days. As mentioned in a private email "safety trailer" relate to the target domains.
these are:

I am not familiar with style, .css etc. I assume that you are using classes for the inserted links.

google.com with "&spell=0" (but never ever with an anchor)

foo.librarything.bar with "#vIAf" or "#gNd" (context depending)

http://viaf.org/viaf/ foobar with "/" - this is the site default; please do not use "/#VIAF";

http://orlabs.oclc.org/identities/ with "#vIAf" (only for transitions from $VIAF but not from $GND)

toolserver.org - $VIAF or $GND context depending with "#vIAf" or "#gNd"

toolserver.org - "magenta redirects" - please use international / English "#wpidentities" instead of "#normdaten"

http://d-nb.info/gnd/ please use the site default "/about/html" (not "/#PND")

opacplus.bib-bvb.de today "#PND" please use "#gNd"

for the request from bug 36985 the safety trailer is "#"

Best regards Reinhardt
Comment 7 T. Gries 2012-05-24 06:07:40 UTC
This is scope creeping. Please open a new bug. Try harder to concentrate to the essence in two..three short sentences. File *one* bug for each single request you have.
