It is possible to get a VIAF ID from Wikidata.
The accuracy of our authenticity should be able to increase with cross-referencing properties on VIAF.
(Not the final result, but the last run of verifying Person.csv, there are ~1200 mismatches.)
However, I didn't find a SPARQL endpoint so far.

Found an article in 2015 that said:

VIAF doesn’t provide a public SPARQL endpoint, but a complete dump of the data is available at http://viaf.org/viaf/data/.

My machine probably can't support downloading and querying locally.

Or, is there another way to query the data in VIAF?
Except for website scrabing?
Is it necessary to query with DBpedia?
