The idea being, you start from that publication and the links from the author name strings would go to name pages for those names? I'll have to think about it, but in principle I think it makes sense... I'm afraid I've been a bit busy with other priorities but I do plan to get back to updating this tool in the next week or two...

Yes, the key idea is to have a page for one work which ideally lists all author name strings for that work and links them to the corresponding name pages.

This would look very similar to the example given above, with the main difference being that right now, the limit=1 part does not give the user control over which work to display (for me, it's https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q21131061 right now), whereas the new mechanism would allow to specify something like &work=Q21131061 or similar.

Ok, there's a new "work_item.php" page - for example here:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/work_item.php?id=Q27335792&doit=Get+author+links+for+work

I should probably link it from other pages. Any suggestions on what else should be done with it?

I had a first go at it from your example, which led to
https://tools.wmflabs.org/quickstatements/#/batch/16968
and thus
https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/author/Q66317808 .

Yes, cross-linking would be useful.

Will test a bit more later.

Things to add to work_item.php:

• published in (with link to associated Scholia missing page)
• main subject (with link to associated Scholia missing page)
• perhaps links to author_item.php for citing/ cited papers

Links to work_item.php from pages like

• https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/author_item.php?limit=50&id=Q54958038
• https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/index.php?limit=50&name=K.+Romanowska-Rybinska

Ok, "published in" and "main subject" links have been added, with the Scholia links as suggested. Also links from index.php and author_item etc. to the "work_item" page via a [work] link after the title - do you think that's sufficient? Maybe it should be highlighted somehow?

I'm not sure what you mean by links to author_item for citing/cited papers - you mean if we have identified authors on any citing or cited papers to add a list to the work item page? I haven't looked at traversing the citation graph at all here yet...

I just tried to move the [work] link to the author column, as per #72 .

Some highlighting seems useful — perhaps rethink the color scheme altogether, e.g. why is the journal linked in black, the topic in red?

Regarding the citation graph, what I had in mind here is that people often cite their own work, so if we already have a work with a P50 statement that cites our target work and the target work has a P2093 string that is in the label or aliases of that person's item, then that could be suggested on the page as a potential match. Such citation graph walking is very helpful in cases like your example where the author name strings are provided just with initials.
