✦ Synopsis
This is the final report of the IFLA Working Group on Functional Requirements and Numbering of Authority Records (FRANAR) in which they define the functional requirements of authority records as expansion and extension of the functional requirements of bibliographic records (FRBR). This conceptual model discusses only the name (person, family, and corporate body) and title entities as controlled access points; subject terms are not included. It provides a framework to analyze the kind of authority data that is required to support authority control and for sharing authority data internationally. The report contains diagrams showing the relationships between entities, entity definitions, attributes for each of the entities, authority relationships in the context of the model, and a mapping of attributes and relationships to user tasks (find, identify, contextualize, and justify) with a few examples for each. The editor provides references and an index, but no summary or conclusion.
This report is an essential tool for catalogers to understand the theoretical global ramifications of authority work and how controlled access terms will interact in the "FRBRization" of OPACs.
