see T243764#5834050
Museums/ [[ https://pro.europeana.eu/services/data-publication-services/aggregators | Europeana aggregators ]] must understand how new Agents can be created..... the bad quality {T243764} that makes one of [[ https://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/#/all-projects | the world biggest websites ]] hesitate if they should link Europeana or not is just because of bad management of Authorities/Agents.
The scope of the problem is not bigger than what Wkipedia did in 2012 that we said when we write an article on en:Wikipedia that we connect this article to another language article about the same subject. In Europeana there is [[ https://pro.europeana.eu/resources/apis | nearly no Linked data ]] and Agents is just about one museum saying that this painting is created by **xxx** that is the same creator we see in other museum....
As museums often have their own systems they already have done the work and need just the Europeana Agent ID ==> Europeana need to set this up!!!
* thoughts
** question asked [[ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/europeanaapi/HKUVqqEVi6c | "Creating new Europeana Agent ids?" ]]
** Wikidata is free and open maybe we just send something to Europeana with a Qnumber and they create it when uploading
*** One problem is that many agents in Europeana I guess/hope will not be notable enough in Wikidata see {T240738}
