Linking and Exploring Authority Files (LEAF)

[March 28, 2002] LEAF (Linking and Exploring Authority Files) "is a three year project, started in March 2001, co-funded by the European Commission Information Society Technologies Programme and is developing a model architecture for a distributed search system harvesting existing name authority information aiming at automatically establishing a user needs based common name authority file in a specific sector highly relevant to the cultural heritage of Europe. The project results will be implemented by extending an existing, fully functional, international online Search and Retrieval service network of OPACs that provides information about modern manuscripts and letters, the MALVINE project, and to extend this into a global multilingual and multimedia information service about persons and corporate bodies based on user needs. The model architecture is intended to be applicable to other kinds of cultural/scientific objects and data, ensuring through the use of authority file information that the representation of the objects in question is one of high quality..."

"LEAF is participating in the development of an XML format for authority records and archival context information - EAC (Encoding Archival Context). Results from testing the first version of EAC within LEAF will contribute to the development of the public version, which is expected to be launched in 2002."

Public deliverables include a Report on a Recommended Name DTD, Mapping between the name DTD and a name metadata set, a Report on the XML encoding, and conversion tools for the name data.
