Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1978, 1999, 1998, 2005—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1978-07-22. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Daniel, Johannsen and Austrian.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Daniel Johannsen” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Daniel, Johannsen and Austrian provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q20671544. VIAF identifies the subject as 29351249. The Library of Congress control number is no2008111348. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1978, 1999, 1998 and 2005.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. 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.
