Research on the Integrated Name Authority Control of the National Library of China in the Digital Era

Abstract

Abstract:

The National Library of China began its name authority control with the compilationof the Provisional Regulations on Cataloging Western Books (Draft) in 1958. After nearly 70 yearsof development, it has achieved fruitful results in theoretical research, rule-making, and practicalimplementation. Since the beginning of the new century, the digital era has put forward higherrequirements for information organization, revealing limitations in the existing authority control model,namely, its fragmented structure, limited coverage, and the lag in the update mechanism. The NationalLibrary of China has embraced the challenge. It closely tracks new ideas, puts new theories into practice,and promotes the transformation of authority control from traditional name-based authority control toidentity-based or entity-based control with the help of linked data technology. Meanwhile, it takes thedevelopment of its smart library system as an opportunity to strengthen the research on cross-languageauthority control, actively explore integrated approaches to unify authority control across diverse carriers,languages and sources. Therefore, it lays a solid foundation for building a unified discovery platform thatenhances access to its collections.
