A Catmandu::Store::VIAF is a Perl package that can query the <VIAF|http://viaf.org/> authority file.

This store supports only one method "get" to retrieve an AAT record by its identifier

The "lang" parameter is optional and defaults to nl-NL. It sets the language of the returned prefLabel. If no prefLabel for the viaf_id in provided lang exists, the prefLabel for the fallback_lang is used.

Optional. Default en-US.

Create a new Catmandu::Store::VIAF

Retrieve a VIAF record given an identifier. Returns a record like:

  {
    'dcterms:identifier' => 'The identifier',
    'guid'               => 'The VIAF URL',
    'schema:birthDate'   => 'Birth date, if provided',
    'schema:deathDate'   => 'Death date, if provided',
    'schema:description' => 'Description, if provided',
    'skos:prefLabel'     => 'prefLabel, in lang or fallback_lang'
  }
