**What identifiers are associated with Holger Schmidt in academic databases?**  
He has a GND ID of 123294193, VIAF ID of 67369996 (added 2024-01-12 via ), DDB person (GND) ID of 123294193, MR author ID of 895133, and Mathematics Genealogy Project ID of 128639.

## Why They Matter
Holger Schmidt contributes to the computer science field through his doctoral research at a leading German university, extending the academic lineage via the Mathematics Genealogy Project (ID 128639). His advisors, Heinz-Gerd Hegering (mathematician, university teacher, computer scientist) and Johann Schlichter (computer scientist), connect him to established German academic networks in mathematics and computing. Without his place in this genealogy, the documented chain of scholarly descent from these figures would lack his branch, preserving continuity in computer science scholarship.
