[Neubert Joachim]

Hallo Alex,

herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem Mammutwerk! Es ist klasse, diese wichtige Ontologie so umfassend und präzise beschrieben zu sehen. Die Beispiele dürften auch für Neulinge einen prima Einstieg bieten. Klasse!

Schöne Grüße von der Alster, Joachim

> GND stands for "Gemeinsame Normdatei" (Integrated Authority 
> File) and offers a broad range of elements to represent authorities. 
> 
> The ontology aims to transfer the experiences made by 
> libraries to the web community by providing a vocabulary for 
> the description of conferences or events, corporate bodies, 
> places or geographic names, differentiated persons, 
> undifferentiated persons (name of undifferentiated persons), 
> subject headings, and works.
> 
> To ensure compatibility, the GND ontology aligns with already 
> established vocabularies such as the FOAF vocabulary as well 
> as with new ones like the RDA Vocabularies. 
> 
> The present results have to be considered as work in 
> progress. Gradually, we will integrate additional 
> information, such as the descriptions for each element and 
> alignments to a number of additional vocabularies and ontologies.
> 
> We are open to and grateful for any feedback regarding 
> increase of quality and suggestions for potential ontology 
> extensions. Please feel free to contact us and discuss via 
> our mailing list [2].
