Pilot National Name and Factual Authority Service (NAMES) 2
The Names Project began in July 2007. It was funded to investigate requirements for a name authority service for UK repositories. A prototype name authority system has been developed as part of this work and a number of connections have been made with UK stakeholders and with international projects working in a similar space.
The aim of this continuation to the first phase is to build upon the achievements of the Names Project by further developing the name authority prototype. This will extend the project for a further two years, building the prototype into a form that will be useful for repository services and working with new sources of information to improve the quality of the data.
