008/11 Subject heading system/thesaurus

General

When applying RDA Chapter 9 for fictitious characters and RDA Chapiter 10 for family names assure that the NAR 008/11 is set to “n.”

Corporate names for high government and religious officials

Assign value “n” (Not applicable) to name authority records for corporate names representing the office held for Heads of state, heads of governments, etc., International intergovernmental bodies, Religious officials, and Popes when the name of the incumbent is included as part of the authorized access point. Also assign value “b” in 008/15, and make a 667 note indicating the form of the access point used in subject cataloging.

Examples of corporate names not appropriate for use as subject headings:

États-Unis. Président (1953-1961 : Eisenhower)
Iran. Shah (1941-1979 : Mohammed Reza Pahlavi)
Illinois. Gouverneur (1973-1977 : Walker)
Église catholique. Pape (1958-1963 : Jean XXIII)
Church of England. Diocèse de Londres. Évêque (1675-1713 : Compton)

See also Manual 008/15 and the Manual 667 section “NARs and subject usage.”

Follow these guidelines for newly-created NARs. Make these changes also when modifying existing name authority records for any reason.

008/15 Heading use-subject added entry

Family names When applying RDA Chapter 9 for fictitious characters and RDA Chapiter 10 for family names assure that the NAR 008/11 is set to "b."

Corporate names for high government and religious officials

Background: For Heads of state, heads of governments, etc., International intergovernmental bodies, Religious officials, and Popes, descriptive catalogers may be required to establish an authorized access point for the corporate name for the office as well as a personal name for the office holder. It is subject cataloging policy to assign only the personal name, not the corporate name, as a subject access point. This policy was established for collocation purposes (cf. SHM H 430). For example:

États-Unis. Président (1789-1979 : Washington)

may be used in descriptive cataloging as an access point, but in subject cataloging only the personal name:

Washington, George, 1732-1799

would be used as a subject access point.

Assign value "b" (Not appropriate) to name authority records for corporate entities representing the office held for Heads of state, heads of governments, etc., International intergovernmental bodies, Religious officials, and Popes when the name of the incumbent is included as part of the entry. Also assign value "n" in 008/11, and make a 667 note indicating the form used in subject cataloging.

Example:

110 2# $a Église catholique. $b Pape (1958-1963 : Jean XXIII)
008/11 = n 
008/15 = b
667 ## $a UTILISATION COMME VEDETTE-MATIÈRE : Ce point d'accès ne peut pas être employé comme vedette-matière. Les œuvres sur cette personne se trouvent sous Jean XXIII, pape, 1881-1963.

See also Manual 008/11 and the Manual 667 section "NARs and subject usage."

Follow these guidelines for newly-created authority records. Correct existing records when making any other change to the records.
