Add IdRef for Linked data Enrichment
Bibliographic information is currently enriched with URIs from several sources, mainly English language files (LCSH, LCNAMES, MeSH...See : https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/alma/integrations/linked_data/ ).
Libraries who work with other authorities can't get benefit from these linked data enrichments. In order to improve cataloging support and to avoid local developments for discovery usage, it would be great to add the French authority file IdRef (https://www.idref.fr/) URIs to the list of enrichment possibilities. IdRef is the authority file used by academic and research institutions in France, Switzerland, and Belgium, and is integrated in Alma CZ in both Marc21 (originating system IdRef) and Unimarc (originating system RAMEAU) formats. IdRef is also integrated to Viaf.
IdRef records have URIs (ex. http://www.idref.fr/027204332/id), based on record number (here 027204332). IdRef record number is stored as" Originating system ID" in Alma records.

shared this idea
The Linked Data enrichment process for bibliographic records that are linked to IdRef authorities now also generates URIs to the IdRef authority records, so that libraries that work with IdRef authorities can benefit from their Linked Open Data capabilities.

Sure. That's a really good idea.
