The document discusses archival authority files and their role in representing literary networks. It provides an overview of the British Library's Integrated Archives and Manuscripts System (IAMS) and how authority records are used. It demonstrates authority record navigation and visualization in the Library's online catalog and in the Social Networks and Archival Context (SNAC) prototype. SNAC merges archival and bibliographic data from various institutions to create single records for entities, showing links between individuals. The document discusses issues for cataloging literary networks, such as deficiencies in legacy data and the need for rich, consistent metadata to power systems like SNAC.

- 31. www.bl.uk Cataloguing Issues: Important to note that SNAC based on real catalogue data - warts and all: all normalisation automatic no extra detailed cataloguing or transcription But portals such as SNAC need rich, consistent and well structured metadata so compromises...
- 32. www.bl.uk Legacy Data SNAC cant use the specificity the Library gives for role in creation of material simply creator not author and editor etc Library CPF authority data has deficiencies: Duplicate records No life dates No links to NRA or VIAF No links to places or subjects Persistent identifiers in development So work to do!
- 33. www.bl.uk New Cataloguing The Librarys new cataloguing better for sharing with portals such as SNAC Developing authority file descriptions unaffordable not MPLP? No a workflow rather than a resource issue: Necessary research done anyway during cataloguing Biographies can focus on material being catalogued not necessarily whole life history Save thinking time in forming perfect name by links to open data such as VIAF
