The purpose of this study is to suggest a rational guidelines of authority record for heading controls. It analyzes the headings of AACR2R and KCR2. To efficient retrieval, It suggests distinction of different persons and different corporate bodies of the same name and subject list. It also investigates the problem sand suggests the possible improvements for control of headings. The rules for heading control retains the frame from headings of cataloging rules. The guideline for heading controls will be integrated in the rules for headings.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the procedure of building the authority file for titles and corporate names for KISTI Serials Union Catalog and describe the current theory and practices of developing the guidelines for standardized authority records. The activities of NACO and its standards for the creation of authority records. the structure and search methods of OCLC Authority Files, and the plan for building KISTI Authority Files are examined, and a comparison is made between the authority format of MARC21 and that of KORMARC. Cooperation among libraries in the creation, maintenance and quality control of AF is strongly suggested.

이 연구는 전거통제를 위한 상호협력시스템으로서 발전을 거듭하고 있는 미국의 NACO의 역사와 발전과정, PCC와의 관계 등에 대해 고찰하고, 한국의 도서관에서의 활용방안에 대해 구체적으로 분석하였다. 광범위한 전거데이터의 활용이라는 면에서 NACO는 유용한 대안이 될 수 있으나, 표목 및 접근점의 선정과 형식에 관한 표준의 문제, 로마자화의 문제, 수록데이터의 유용성, 비용, 정책상의 문제 등도 충분히 고려해야 함을 지적하였다. 아울러 국내의 경우에도 이와 같은 전거통제를 위한 상호협력시스템이 필요하다는 점에서, NACO는 하나의 좋은 모델이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Name authority control is important for not only library catalogers but also end users, since it provides uniform access points. The national libraries in Japan and the United States have constructed and controlled authority records for writers from early days, and have provided them on the web sites. The purposes of this study are to extract common fields and differences in Japanese writer's name authority records of the U.S. and Japan, and to propose the ways of desirable description of authority records in Korea. Several suggestions of building authority records in National Library of Korea such as open to the pubic of authority records, provision of various forms of authority files, suggestion of the ways of writing the names of foreign writers, and the links between the authority records and library catalogs for retrieval are proposed.

In the library catalog, the scalability of information acquisition can be guaranteed by expressing various relationships existing between resources. Such a bibliographical relationship can be realized through the authority record. Therefore, the revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, the national standard for authority records, is inevitably important. Therefore, for the revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, (1) the latest international cataloging trends were analyzed, (2) the opinions of librarians were collected, (3) internal guidelines used for authority work were analyzed, and (4) latest version of MARC21 were analyzed. In addition, for the continuous revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, the revision procedure of MARC21 was investigated to draw implications for the KORMARC revision method. Data was collected and utilized through literature reviews, MARC21 analysis, interviews with professors and librarians.

It is necessary to construct authority records in OPAC to improve the precision and the recall by organizing and connecting information systematically. Especially, the authority records are widely used in the museums, archives, art galleries, etc as well as in the libraries for work collocation and search. But KORMARC-Authority Format (KSX6006-4) could not have been revised and managed consistently reflecting international cataloging trends and revision needs of Korea libraries since it was published in 1999. Resultingly, there are only few libraries that would have constructed the authority records in OPAC in Korea, and OPAC without authority records could deteriorate the search quality. Therefore, this study would suggest the revision of KORMARC-Authority Format by investigating authority related international trends such as ICP, FRAD, RDA, VIAF and analyzing new MARC21-Authority Format applying these authority related trends. The research methods were used such as literature review, the analysis of 5 domestic libraries' authority records and VIAF records, and the group interview with librarians.

The purpose of this study is to review the expanded role of authority files, which uses the Knowledge Organization System(KOS) to organize contents and manage the collections in digital libraries. The KOS plays a role as a bridge between the users' information needs and materials by providing links between catalogs and digital resources on the web and supporting retrieval of the relevant items. It is described how a KOS can be used to link a digital resource to related materials, to provide more descriptive records for entities, and access to relevant physical objects.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the titles and corporate names of Japanese scholarly journals are treated, and how well the authority control is implemented to assist the access with various names and forms of names to the OPACS. Without the help of either references or internal links among those names and forms of names in the DBs, users are likely to fail in getting the right results. In this study, the cataloging records for serials from the National Assembly Library, KISTI, Yonsei University and the KERIS were examined, and the comparison was made with the records from the NACIS-WebCat of the National Institute of Informatics in Japan. Major findings include (1) the lack of consistency in applying cataloging rules, (2) the lack of proper authority control in treating corporate names, and (3) the lack of references or links among names and variant forms of names. The overall improvement of cataloging practices and application of authority control is strongly recommended for enabling users to access better to those DBs of interest.

The purpose of this study is to examine how corporate names are treated in the OPACs in Korea, and to find out how well the authority control is implemented. A corporate body often has different names and different forms of names which should be properly linked in the OPACs. Without the help of either references or internal links among such names and forms of names in the OPACs, users are likely to fail in getting the right results, In this study, the OPACs from the five major libraries, the National Assembly Library, KISTI, Yonsei University, the National Central Library, and the KERIS were examined. Major common findings include (1) the lack of consistency in applying cataloging rules, (2) the lack of proper authority control in treating corporate names, and (3) the lack of references or links among names and variant forms of names. Because of the small scale of this study, more comprehensive and thorough study seems to be needed. However, the overall improvement of cataloging practices and application of authority control is strongly suggested, based upon the findings.

This study suggests the necessity and domestic application plan a national authority database that promotes an integrated access, richer search, and understanding of historical information sources and archival resources distributed among cultural heritage institutions through the "Social Networks and Archive Context" project case. As the SNAC project was transformed into an international cooperative organization led by NARA, it was possible to secure a sustainable operating system and realize cooperative authority control. In addition, SNAC authority records have the characteristics of providing richer contextual information about life and history and social and intellectual network information compared to libraries. Through case analysis, First, like SNAC, a cooperative body led by the National Archives and having joint ownership of the National Library of Korea should lead the development and expand the scope of participating institutions. Second, in the cooperative method, take a structure in which divisions are made for each field with special strengths, but the main decision-making is made through the administrative team in which the two organizations participate. Third, development of scalable open source software that can collect technical information in various formats when constructing authority data, designing with the structure and elements of archival authority records, designing functions to control the quality of authority records, and building user-friendly interfaces and the need for a platform design reflecting content elements.
