The site, in 2003
A shared index of authors' names, made by linking the name files of national libraries and run by OCLC.
It began in 1998 as a test by the Library of Congress, the German National Library and OCLC. One VIAF record gathers the different spellings and forms of a name used by each library.
In 2003: The VIAF consortium was formed on 6 August at the World Library and Information Congress, and had its own page on OCLC's site by September.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
