>> While attempting to wrap our brains around how to synchronize our
>> constituent entries and workflow with the very large National Archives
>> Name/Organization authority (basically the OCLC name authority with
>> millions of additional entries and growing daily) -- at least for what we
>> term 'Notable Constituents' -- the Presidential Libraries Museums are also

>>
>> http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/
>>
>> The National Archives is a core member of the SNAC cooperative -- in early
>> stages of development, but active and available for authority work and
>> highly promising for cross-discipline audiences.
>>
>> Other than for ULAN data, is anyone attempting to synchronize constituent
>> data elements such as Display or Sort names, biographies, or other data
>> with authoritative data from other sources?  If so, what data elements and
>> from what sources?
