"Courier New"">I'm extremely pleased to release the
Report of the PCC Task Group
on the Creation and Function of Name Authorities in a Non-MARC
Environment to
you for comment.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This
Task Group,
chaired by Stephen Hearn, was asked to think broadly and
practically about
identities in both an RDA and a linked data environment.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Key to the report would be
the identification
of changes needed to our current authority record system to
support this new
environment and proposed solutions to moving forward.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The report is divided into
two parts, the
first deals with alternatives to undifferentiated personal name
authorities and
the second to name authorities in a non-MARC environment.</span></p>

"Courier New"">Earlier this month, both OpCo and PoCo
had an initial discussion
of the report. As you read through the three options presented
in Part 1,
we would like you to consider a fourth option as well. Our
discussions
led us to support investigating the use of the subfield |0
(subfield zero,
defined in MARC21 as “Authority record control number”) in the
authority file
to be able to use the LCCN when no other text element is
available to
differentiate the authorized access point. This differs from
option 2 in
that, while it would be included in the 1XX of the authority
record, the LCCN
would not be a parenthetical qualifier to the formal authorized
access point,
but rather a subfield used to distinguish identities that share
the same text
string. Because the LCCN would not be an integral part of the
authorized
access point itself, display within the local system would be
optional. In
pursuing this option, a number of tangential issues would need
to be
investigated such as the NACO normalization rules, the proposed
use of the |0 in
authority records through the MARC Advisory Committee, impacts
on authority vendors,
and impacts on the ILS.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>In
addition,
OpCo and PoCo discussed various ways to break up
undifferentiated name clusters
and associated bibliographic records with the correct name
form. There
did not seem to be an automated way to do this safely and the
work that would
be required to do so manually is not feasible in the current
environment. Any
name, of course, can be extracted from these clusters at any
point on an as
needed basis.</span></p>
