Cet article pr{\'e}sente ISNI et VIAF, deux grandes initiatives d{\textquoteright}optimisation du contr{\^o}le d{\textquoteright}autorit{\'e}. Elles changent de mani{\`e}re significative le paysage international du contr{\^o}le bibliographique en relevant le d{\'e}fi de l{\textquoteright}identification fiable des contributeurs dans un r{\'e}seau global des connaissances en expansion. Les deux syst{\`e}mes sont con{\c c}us sur les principes du contr{\^o}le bibliographique universel. De surcro{\^\i}t, ils donnent {\`a} ces principes une nouvelle vie en promouvant une {\'e}conomie globale o{\`u} les donn{\'e}es d{\textquoteright}autorit{\'e} jouent un r{\^o}le moteur dans la cha{\^\i}ne des liens du dans le web de donn{\'e}es (Linked data). L{\textquoteright}article montre la compl{\'e}mentarit{\'e} d{\textquoteright}ISNI et de VIAF et encourage les biblioth{\`e}ques du monde entier {\`a} prendre part {\`a} ces deux initiatives.

This article presents ISNI and VIAF as major initiatives leveraging the library Authority control. They are significantly changing the international landscape of bibliographic control addressing the challenge of reliably identifying people in the rapidly emerging global knowledge network. Both systems are built on the principles of UBC. Further, they are revitalising these principles by promoting a global economy in which the library authority data are playing a leading role in the Linked Data chain. The article presents ISNI and VIAF in complementary relation with one another and invites libraries worldwide to become full players in both initiatives.

This article describes the project to build the initial International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) database by deploying the techniques used to develop the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF). It focuses particularly on the work of the OCLC team in transforming the VIAF {\textquotedblleft}resource file{\textquotedblright} model of matched data into a robust, operational, and authoritative file of uniquely assigned ISNIs as a base for an ongoing ISNI assignment system, and on the quality assurance validation of the database provided by the British Library and the Biblioth{\`e}que nationale de France. The need for future interaction between ongoing ISNI assignment and name authority control in libraries is also explored.
