 States&#8212;who are involved in uniquely identifying authors and researchers that can be shared in a linked data environment. Our interest in this area was spurred by institutions&#8217; need to uniquely identify all their researchers to measure their scholarly output,
 a factor in reputation and ranking. Yet national authority files cover researchers only partially&#8212;they do not include authors that write only journal articles, or researchers who don&#8217;t publish but create or contribute to data sets and other research activities.
