 Personal/Corporate
Names
Biographical/Corporate
History
The categories of information in this area are equally applicable
to people and corporate bodies. This statement should not be taken to
mean that people and corporate bodies can be described in exactly the
same way. A typical implementation would treat them as separate but
related entities. The similarity between the two argues for their
being combined for purposes of discussion. It is recommended that an
authority file or files be devoted to all named people and corporate
bodies mentioned in catalogue entries. Each authority record should
correspond to a particular entity (person or corporate body), rather
than to a name by which the entity is or was known. In other words,
the number of authority records should match the number of people and
corporate bodies, not the number of different names for them.
