The OCLC Research WorldCat Identities project is ending. The work provided valuable insight into how to mine bibliographic data for insight into the People and Organizations that create and serve as subjects library materials. The findings demonstrated the power of data mining over the world’s largest set of bibliographic metadata and highlighted the value of collaborative collective cataloging. The WorldCat Identities data has positively impacted OCLC’s work to build the WorldCat Entities application and the 150 million Person and Work descriptions accessible through it. This work will continue to build our entity ecosystem to support the future knowledge work of librarians.

The WorldCat Identities web application will be retired and shut down in the coming months and the data is no longer being updated. The most recent version of the data is from July of 2022. As OCLC continues to build out the WorldCat Entities ecosystem, please use it as a source for persistent Person identifiers. https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity

Dette er første del av Goethes store verk. Dramaet begynner med et veddemål mellom Gud og djevelen Mefisto om den aldrende vitenskapsmannen Faust. Djevelen vil legge verden for Fausts føtter, men til gjengjeld skal han få hans sjel dersom det Mefisto kan gi, blir nok til å tilfredsstille Faust. Så fortsetter det med en vill jakt på opplevelser: til fjollete studenter i Leipzig, til heksekjøkkenets magi, til den unge Gretchen som Faust forelsker seg stormende i. Fordi det er Mefisto som har ført ham sammen med Gretchen, kan Faust ikke leve opp til sine følelser
