Name and Title Authority Source Codes

Introduction

Name and Title Authority Sources identifies databases and lists containing standard names of persons, organizations, families, and meetings and standard titles for resources and assigns a code to each database or list. The purpose of this list is to enable the source of an authorized form of a name or resource title in a metadata records to be indicated by a code. For code assignment, general structure, usage, and maintenance guidelines see Introduction.

Note: Some subject heading lists also incorporate names and titles. Thus the lists assigned source codes in Subject Heading and Term Source Codes may also be used in the usage elements identified for names and titles if appropriate. Many of the subject sources that contain names and titles, along with subjects, are repeated on this list with the same source code.

Others subject heading lists, such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings employ independent name and title lists for parts of a subject heading. Thus the sources assigned source codes in this list may also be used in the usage elements identified for subjects in Subject Heading and Term Source Codes, if appropriate.

Arrangement of the list

Entries in the list are arranged in alphabetical order by the code and consist of the source code followed by the bibliographic citation for the source documentation. The citations are linked to the online source for some codes.

Code structure

Each code consists of a maximum of 12 lowercase alphabetic characters. Possible additions to codes are described in Source Code Maintenance.
