These authority data represent and describe entities, i.e. persons, corporate bodies, conferences and events, geographic entities, topics and works relating to cultural and academic collections. Libraries in particular use the <abbr title="Gemeinsame Normdatei">GND</abbr> to catalogue publications. However, archives, museums, cultural and academic institutions, and researchers involved in research projects are also increasingly working with the <abbr title="Gemeinsame Normdatei">GND</abbr>. Authority data make cataloguing easier, offer definitive search entries and forge links between different information resources.</p> <p>Every entity in the <abbr title="Gemeinsame Normdatei">GND</abbr> features a unique and stable identifier (<abbr title="Gemeinsame Normdatei">GND</abbr> <abbr title="identifier">ID</abbr>). This makes it possible to link the authority data with both each other and external data sets and web resources.
