This is useful to disambiguate different items with similar or identical headings, as well as to establish a single standard title for an item that is commonly known by two or more titles. When used, authority control data links can be found near the bottom of Wikipedia pages, to bibliographic records on worldwide library catalogues. Authority control is often used on biographical articles, because it is common for more than one person to share the same name. It is commonly used in other subject material as well.
Authority control enables researchers to search more easily for pertinent information on the subject of an article, without needing to disambiguate the subject manually. For example, authority control is used on music articles so that the information in the article can be easily cross-referenced with the popular MusicBrainz database. This enables many media applications to display information from the relevant Wikipedia article when a song is played.
More generally, authority control is a method of creating and maintaining index terms for bibliographic material in a library catalogue. The links produced by the authority control template on Wikipedia go to authority control data in worldwide library catalogues. As an example, the Wikipedia authority control information for Alexander Graham Bell looks like this:
WorldCat is a global cooperative union catalog which itemises the collections of 72,000 libraries in 170 countries and territories. What follows are four authority control records: Virtual International Authority File (VIAF), the second is the Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN), then the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) and last the GND is the Integrated Authority File (in German).
