I'm out of my depth here :) But... this is what I understood Andrew to be saying. In this instance (?because 'England' is a Name Authority?) rather than create a separate LCSH authority record for 'England' (as the 151), rather the LCSH subdivision is recorded in the 781 of the existing Name Authority record. Searching on http://authorities.loc.gov for England, I find an Authorised heading, marked as a LCSH - but when I go to that record what I get is the name authority record n 82068148 - the name authority record as represented on VIAF by http://viaf.org/viaf/142995804/ (which links to http://errol.oclc.org/laf/n%20%2082068148.html) Just as this is getting interesting time differences mean I'm about to head home :) Owen On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 4:34 PM, LeVan,Ralph <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > If you look at the fields those names come from, I think they mean > England as a corporation, not England as a place. > > Ralph > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf > Of > > Owen Stephens > > Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 11:28 AM > > To: [log in to unmask] > > Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] LCSH and Linked Data > > > > Still digesting Andrew's response (thanks Andrew), but > > > > On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 4:17 PM, Ya'aqov Ziso <[log in to unmask]> > wrote: > > > > > *Currently under id.loc.gov you will not find name authority > records, but > > > you can find them at viaf.org*. > > > *[YZ]* viaf.org does not include geographic names.
