Abstract
This work aims at enriching author profiles with additional information to better support search and retrieval of publications across different digital libraries. To achieve this objective we exploit concepts for cross-linking data to identify correlations between one author and other authors, publications or other related information. We will introduce a profile enrichment approach which adds additional information (e.g. biographic information) from different sources to existing author profiles. Within this context, the linked open data repository DBpedia serves a valuable source for our profile enrichment approach. Still, one of several challenges in this context is the identification of the same author in different sources. To address this challenge we will exploit VIAF (virtual authority file) for author identification. Technically we apply data mining and clustering techniques to uniquely identify authors.
