Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “David C. Cannatella”, the useful work is to connect “researcher” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 14, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q3017646. VIAF identifies the subject as 67796321. The Library of Congress control number is n81133273. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1954, 1976, 1985 and 1986.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
