Links to the VIAF clusters
Every JudaicaLink record that refers to a VIAF cluster, linked to the JudaicaLink record of the cluster in the dataset viaf, unless the life dates or the classes of the two contradict.
The links rely on the VIAF numbers our datasets and the other authority datasets state. VIAF clusters the records of many libraries automatically; JudaicaLink gives it the benefit of the doubt and leaves a link out only when the record and the cluster both give a year of birth (or of death) more than one year apart, or when one is a person and the other a work (decision 0029). A number the dataset viaf does not have (a cluster merged or made after the dump) is left out. These links are what joins the records of different datasets on the entity pages.
