A geographical heading (151) can be established either in the name authority file, or in the subject file. However, only a geographical heading established in the name authority file can be used as an access point for a jurisdiction or a government (110). Therefore, the jurisdiction status is the main difference between a geographical name heading and a subject heading. Geographical subject headings are usually geographic features, regions, or collective names for groups of jurisdictions that don’t also have a national government function.
