Named entities in subject indexing

Ana Vukadin ; Nacionalna i sveučilišna knjižnica, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The paper aims to examine the relationship between name and subject authority records with respect to the uniform heading principle. Two main tendencies are identified: the growing integration of authority control and its separation from vocabulary control. The presence of these tendencies is explored in the manuals of two subject indexing systems, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and Nuovo soggettario (NS) developed by the National Central Library of Florence, through their approaches to named entities. The choice of the two analyzed indexing systems was based on their connection to the recently developed cataloguing codes, RDA and REICAT, both greatly influenced by the FRBR family of bibliographic models.
