HKCAN Hong Kong Chinese Authority (Name)

A collaborative project since 1999

7 Hong Kong university libraries– Chinese University of Hong Kong– City University of Hong Kong– Hong Kong Baptist University– Hong Kong Institute of Education– Hong Kong Polytechnic University– Lingnan University– University of Hong Kong

3

Aims To build up a Chinese name authority file with

CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) scripts that meets the need of the bilingual community

To improve and streamline authority-control operations by setting up standardization for name headings and principles for authority record selection to achieve “Better”, “Faster” and “Cheaper”

To participate in regional and global cooperative activities on authority work

HKCAN authority record model

7xx model Based on MARC discussion paper 2001-

DP05 Multilingual Authority Records in MARC21 Authority Format – http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2001/2001-dp05.html

This paper explores how to handle multilingual records in the MARC21 authority format

HKCAN based on the recommended Model C

http://www.loc.gov/marc/marbi/2001/2001-dp05.html

5

Record model – Model C (cont’d)

Established headings (1xx) are defined by a catalog context (i.e. cataloging rules and language of catalog)

Context designation are shown in field 008/10-11(rules) or field 040$b (lang. of cataloging)

4xx and 5xx reference tracing are appropriate to the 1xx heading in that context

Alternative established headings are recorded in 7xx fields, along with the indication of the context in which they are appropriate

TTS (Big5) version vs. XML version

In 1999, developed by a Taiwan software vendor

Further developed and maintained by TTS, another Taiwan software company

Based on Big5 – restriction in character encoding

Lack of Z39.50 design October 2003, a new HKCAN software

developed by Chinese University of Hong Kong – XML version

14

Document Type Definition

HKCAN DTD (Document Type Definition) – to specify the structure of each XML authority record

With this DTD, records can be output to the XML schema or other related schemas if needed

DTD has well-served all the necessary functionality in the present XML platform
