In the About section there is also an ISNI : "ISNI - 0000 0000 6636 3497" (IIRC a natural person can have several ISNI, e.g. one for each pseudonym)

The IPI as found in CISAC or SADAIC is not stated.

For Mario Canaro there are two VIAF entries, similar for other brothers, and no ISNI is stated.

So VIAF offers Permalinks, but the attached records may change. Maybe VIAF will link one Permalink with another Permalink, which would increase the usefulness of linking from tango.info to VIAF.

Piazzolla hip hop

There are two entries for Astor Piazzolla. As of 2013-02-20:

• http://viaf.org/viaf/92311871/#Piazzolla,_Astor US, AU, SE, DE
• http://viaf.org/viaf/103647944/#Piazzolla,_Astor,_1921-1992 higher number, but more links

The latter has as of 2013-02-20 38 entries in the change history. They include:

• US LC|n 85079728 3x add, 3x delete
• SE SELIBR|236242 2x add, 2x delete
• DE DNB|119262444 1x add (it is the oldest in the log, from 2010-02-22T06:44:26+00:00), but on 2013-02-15T19:30:59+00:00 it said goodbye at the same time like LC|n 85079728 and SELIBR|236242.

The current entry with fewer links - and the lower number - has as first entry

• AU NLA|000035397248 add 2009-08-21T09:43:00+00:00

and then 21 other changes.

Looking back in the other history there is

• AU NLA|000040578531 add 2010-04-23T04:20:35+00:00

So the National Library of Australia is present with two entries - both not hopping.
