Thinking about PND

An important part of our research is finding the Personennamendatei (PND) number of Croatian Latin authors and adding the number to our personal data record of the author. So far, 83 authors (of 241 from our experimental set) have been connected with their PND-Nrs.

Now we're looking into the ways Wikipedia (at least, German Wikipedia) explores the PND to uniquely identify persons and connect data on them. The BEACON format seems a nice start for a small catalogue like ours. And, of course, it would be nice if Croatian Wikipedia decided to adopt something similar to the PND scheme.
