== Odd things at VIAF and no announcement
As we are start seeing odd things in VIAF regarding LIBRIS with both old IDs and new IDs - URI new question [[ https://kundo.se/org/librisxl/d/viaf-libris-uri/ | asked 28 Apr 2019 ]]
{F29051755,width=1000}
VIAF [[ https://viaf.org/viaf/8167155566470213380005/ | 8167155566470213380005 ]]
LIBRIS [[ https://viaf.org/processed/SELIBR%7C9k6xhg7d75gscx47 | https://viaf.org/processed/SELIBR%7C9k6xhg7d75gscx47 ]] i.e. New LIBRIS id in the old field
OCLC links back to LIBRIS [[ https://libris.kb.se/resource/auth/9k6xhg7d75gscx47 | 9k6xhg7d75gscx47 ]] ==> get error in LIBRIS
**Answer in two emails from Anna LIBRIS 2019-05-xx**: yes there is a problem that is reported to VIAF
(Magnus comment: no task id or description)
=== Record with error
* LIBRIS XL = [[ https://libris.kb.se/katalogisering/9k6xhg7d75gscx47 | 9k6xhg7d75gscx47 ]]
* WIkidata [[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6063138 | Q6063138 ]]
* VIAF = [[ https://viaf.org/viaf/8167155566470213380005/ | 8167155566470213380005 ]]

* When implementing Linked data solutions lesson learned is that we need a dialogue and tools I have created an EPIC see {{T202530}}
= Change management is needed
I guess this is an example of the more complex Authority Ecosystem we will see and we need
* **Basic change management**
** Unique identifiers for all open tasks so we can track them
** [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/wikidata | Public Workboards ]] so we can coordinate who is doing what and when
** A [[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=502ILHjX9EE | prioritized public backlog ]] --> we understand what and when things are done and can coordinate between different organisations and open communities like Wikidata
** Possibility to subscribe and get notified when tasks change
* **Better project management and communication** so all who are parts of the Authority ecosystem understand the plans e.g.
** user stories what will be done and how
** in this case I feel it would be interesting to understand
*** what change streams will VIAF use from LIBRIS XL, how can we track changes in VIAF
*** will old LIBRIS ( [[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P906 | Property:P906 ]]) and new LIBRIS-URI ([[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P5587 | Property:P5587 ]]) be separated in VIAF?
*** Today new LIBRIS XL ID is stored in VIAF in a MARC look a like format 840 see [[ https://viaf.org/processed/SELIBR%7C206651 | VIAF SELIBR 206651]] is that the easiest place to find the LIBRISXL id ?
**** today we have scripts that access VIAF that also needs LIBRIS-XL see screen dump below what I have found e.g.[[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske/authority_control.js | User:Magnus Manske/authority control.js ]]
**** looks also we have bots doing VIAF looks up e.g. [[ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bots/Requests/KasparBot | Commons:Bots/Requests/KasparBot ]]
