  • A text file showing the correspondence between source IDs in clusters, including external links such as Wikipedia
  • A file containing one 'native' XML record per line for each VIAF cluster
  • A file containing one RDF record per line for each VIAF cluster
  • A file containing one MARC-21 XML record per line for each VIAF cluster
