First of all, I did not join due to recent reports about the lack of contributing women and academics, though I am a member of both "minorities".
The primary reason for getting an account now is that while searching for overview information about the topics mentioned below I discovered lacks of structure and linking. For minor typos I never felt the need to actually get an account, but for these topics since I figured there's more work still needed. So far I have only added some links between the related articles, corrected some typos and added some structure where needed. But I plan to expand the articles and therefore considered getting an account. As a result: Here I am, a female with a master's degree, soon to be PhD and therefore adding diversity to the community - I could make a rap song out of this ;-).
Authority control systems assign a unique identifier to each topic, to allow precise identification of topics, and enable more accurate searches. The entries typically correspond to people, book titles, and similar well-defined entities.
