Hi Paul, I guess this rather depends on your purposes. From the way you've asked the question, it sounds like you are looking for a control set of data to compare your own efforts of author disambiguation to (rather than simply having good sources of disambiguated data - presumably for feeding into a VIVO instance)? In case you haven't looked at it already, you might find the Profiles RNS Disambiguation Engine useful: http://profiles.catalyst.harvard.edu/docs/ProfilesRNS_DisambiguationEngine.pdf Although this would just cover Medline/PubMed data. This could work just as a source of disambiguated data for you, not just as a control set for your own implementations. Additionally, if you are not adverse to using other software to provide disambiguated data, rather than implementing your own solution, then you might want to look at research information management software (e.g. Symplectic Elements). These specialise in acquiring data from a number of data sources (including PubMed), and helping you create a clean, disambiguated set of publication data - and typically provide APIs that allow you to interact and/or extract that information for re-use in other systems.
