Rådata nå! Norwegian Personal Name Authorities as Linked Open Data

Recently the Norwegian personal name authorities have been published as Linked Open Data under the Open Data Commons Public Domain Dedication and Licence (PDDL), see http://data.bibsys.no/data/:

The Rådata nå! data set is a collection of around 9 million triples representing around 1.5 million personal names. The data was created by a joint project between BIBSYS and NTNU University Library with funding from ABM-Utvikling (the Norwegian Archive, Library and Museums authority). The data is structured as linked data.

This is great news. The data contains links to viaf.org. A CKAN package for this data already exists.
