Abstract
Within the past few years, the calls for transforming library data into linked data have become more and more frequent. The purpose of this study is to discuss the future of authority control in the linked data environment. Even though we may not have answers to all the questions, but one thing is clear - the authority control concept and process as we know it in the MARC-based legacy environment will not meet the requirements of linked data. The future of authority control lies in following closely the linked data principles.
