The site, in 2013

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 2013: A year into running as an OCLC service, which it became on 4 April 2012.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
