## Why They Matter
Jos Stam’s recorded academic credentials and bibliographic identifiers mark him as an established researcher in computer graphics and informatics. Completing a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto under Eugene Fiume in 1995 situates him within an academic lineage and research community in these fields. The presence of structured author and authority records (Google Scholar, MathSciNet MR author id, ISNI, VIAF, Library of Congress) demonstrates that his work is part of the scholarly record and accessible to researchers, librarians, and archivists. Those records facilitate citation, discovery, and integration of his research into subsequent work in computer graphics and related computational fields. Without his contributions (as indexed), the bibliographic and research landscape in his documented areas would lack the specific publications and scholarly provenance associated with his author identifiers and doctoral work.
