  • The project LEAF is funded by the EU under the 5th framework (IST program). It started in March 2001 and will run for three years. The scope of LEAF reflects the new role which authority data get in libraries, archives and museums: Their internal use in the cataloguing process, the authority control which is needed when authority data originating from different sources are used in a distributed retrieval process and the access control which in fact is dependent from the quality of authority data: All this can be summed up under the question: How can millions of existing authority data originating from very different sources be used together by everybody (librarian, archivist, museologist, public user) in a way that there will be no loss of information, no data accumulation without quality check but an automated linking between high quality information driven by actual user needs?
