Authority data have always been at the core of library catalogs. Today they are reference data on a wider scale. The former authorities of the "Sudoc" union catalog mutated into "IdRef", a read/write platform of open data and services which seeks to become a national supplier of reliable identifiers for French Universities. To support their dissemination and stick to high quality standards, Paprika and Qualinka have been added to our toolbox, to make easier the massive and secure linking of scientific publications to IdRef authorities.
