Subject: Tracking ULAN ID or URI

Hi TMS users,
I'm new to this listserv and grateful to find this community.

Are there other users that currently track linked data URIs in TMS for authority file reference? Besides tracking, another use case is that we want to be able to in the future export or transform this data from TMS tables in case we were to adopt a system that supports RDF serialization.

In particular, we are currently underway reconciling our TMS constituent data with Getty ULAN. We are looking to track Getty ULAN IDs or URIs, in the constituent table in TMS 2012. If you do this, in what field do you track this information?

Many thanks,
Lauren
