More generally, [[authority control]] is a method of creating and maintaining index terms for bibliographical material in a library catalog, similar to the [[Dewey Decimal Classification|Dewey Decimal System]]. The links produced by the [[Template: Authority control|authority control template]] on Wikipedia go to authority control data in worldwide library catalogs. As an example, the Wikipedia authority control information for [[Alexander Graham Bell]] looks like this:
{{Authority control|qid=Q34286}}
The abbreviations in the box represent the following: [[International Standard Name Identifier]] (ISNI); [[Virtual International Authority File]] (VIAF); [[Library of Congress Control Number]] (LCCN); and [[Integrated Authority File]] (GND), ''Gemeinsame Normdatei'' in German. [[WorldCat]] is a global cooperative [[union catalog]] which itemizes the collections of 72,000 libraries in 170 countries and territories.
