<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">OCLC Research has developed an experimental service called
<a href="http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/kindredworks.html">Kindred Works</a> that provides a set of items similar to an item of interest. This prototype service uses various characteristics of a sample work, such as classification numbers, subject
headings, and genre terms to retrieve related resources from WorldCat and produce a list of items similar to the sample. Kindred Works can help you find a new book to read or movie to watch based on other books or movies you like.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">We recently launched a new
<a href="http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/registering-researchers.html">Registering Researchers in Authority Files</a> task group of OCLC Research Library Partner staff and others—including experts from the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United
States—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’ 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—they do not include authors that write only journal articles, or researchers who don’t publish but create or contribute to data sets and other research activities.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Our goal with this activity is to summarize the benefits and trade-offs of emerging approaches to the problem of incomplete national authority files and make it easier for
researchers and institutions to measure their scholarly output more accurately.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
