This study analyzed the current condition of authority control, introduced the MADS(Metadata Authority Description Schema) for authority data. MADS supports encoding an authority description for a agent(person, organization), event, term(topic, temporal entity, genre, geographic entity, hierarchical geographic entity, occupation) and defines main elements, subelements, and attributes using the XML schema language. Lastly, using the MADS's characteristics, this study proposed the effective use plans of interoperability of authority data.

In this study, we proposed the FRAD concept model of authority data schema for author, organization and journal titles included in the academic papers. Academic information includes author names, affiliations, publishers, journals and conferences. They are used as access points, and there are multiple relationships among these entities. It is expected that the use of authority data for academic information based on FRAD conceptual model could improve more accurate retrieval of information, systematic management of academic information, and various forms of knowledge representation. In this study, our entity-relationship authority data will be linked to the document, and included the several properties and relationship to identify the object.

Despite repeated efforts to develop a methodological foundation for assembling collaborative authority data in South Korea, issues such as the establishment of a standard authority model and standard authority construction as well as the reconfiguration of existing entities in authority building have prevented such research from generating a cooperative push for nation-wide authority data and progressing toward concrete implementation. The formulation of a collaborative and well-utilized collection of national authority data accordingly calls for 1) a practical approach to supporting both established authority data contributors and newly organized avenues of mutual participation in authority building, 2) committed involvement on the part of national institutions capable of providing the project with sustained assistance, and 3) a standard identification system which allows multiple organizations to merge their data. This study addresses the challenges of the current environment by taking stock of the key components necessary for the creation of collaborative authority data and using a Semantic Web-based interoperable VIVO ontology model to propose a viable national authority data framework.

In the recent cataloging environment, the function of authority data is becoming more important. In Korea, a pilot project for sharing and joint use of the national authority data has been promoted since 2019, and a plan to automatically construct retrospective authority data using national authorities is in progress. This study aims to (1) analyze the results of the pilot project for retrospective authority data jointly promoted by the National Library of Korea and KERIS in 2019, (2) explore methodological limitations and problems in the process, and (3) derive policy proposals for constructing authority data more efficiently. To this end, a university library participating in the pilot project was investigated as a case study. Based on it, the automatic generation rate and accuracy of authority data, and errors and omissions cases and causes were analyzed in detail. As a results of the study, it was found that the quality of union catalogs and bibliographic records had a great influence on automatically constructing authority data, and supplementary methods were needed to minimize these limitations.

The KORMARC format for authority data defines the ales and conventions (tags, indrators, subfield codes and coded value) that idenbfy the data elements in KORMARC authority records. This document is intended for the use of personel involved in the creation and maintenance of authority records as well as those involved in the deslgn and maintenance of systems for the communication and praxsmg of authority records. The format is developed on the basis of USMARC f o m t for authority data. And for the compatibility, the KORMARC format for bibliographc data is taken into account.

The purpose of this study was to conduct interviews with librarians who have experience in establishing local authority data by participating in the national authority sharing system of the National Library of Korea and to understand librarians' recognition and support for the joint utilization of national authority data. For this purpose, a total of 10 librarians who participated in the national authority sharing system project were interviewed by telephone using semi-structured questionnaires. Through this, it was possible to investigate the benefits, difficulties, utilization plans, revision plans of headings, and opinions on necessary support. The results of this study showed that the participants recognized that the joint utilization of national authority data provides the basis for the authority work of the local library and brings about the efficiency of the authority work, but they recognized the difficulty of modifying, selecting, creating new data, lacking knowledge, and lacking support system. The necessary support for the joint utilization of national authority data was provided with education and manuals related to authority, provision of rules related to authority that fully consider the position of the institution, budget and manpower support for system development and maintenance, establishment of communication channel and council, system and data advancement, and incentive to participating libraries. Based on the results of the study, the method and direction for the future operation of the joint utilization of national authority data were presented.

This study was to prepare a development plan for nationwide authority control system based on national authority sharing system of NLK through the survey targeting on libraries which do not participate in the system. Six plans were suggested to establish a nationwide authority control system based on this survey. First, an authority data construction module and a module linked to the national authority sharing system should be developed. Second, describing external identifiers such as ISNI to the national authority sharing system is to provides reliability of data and to utilizes to build linked data. Third, it is necessary to prepare strategies for promoting the national authority sharing system and diversifying services. Fourth, both authority establishment and non-establishment show difficulties and diversity in the selection and description of authorized access point, so it is necessary to prepare rules related to authorized access points. Fifth, since the data described in authority records is not enough, it is necessary to improve and upgrade authority records by using bibliographic records. Sixth, it is necessary to educate librarians about the necessity and function of authority control. As such, this study is meaningful in that it investigated the current status and requirements of libraries that do not participate in the nationwide authority system and sought ways to establish a nationwide cooperative authority control system.

In the library catalog, the scalability of information acquisition can be guaranteed by expressing various relationships existing between resources. Such a bibliographical relationship can be realized through the authority record. Therefore, the revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, the national standard for authority records, is inevitably important. Therefore, for the revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, (1) the latest international cataloging trends were analyzed, (2) the opinions of librarians were collected, (3) internal guidelines used for authority work were analyzed, and (4) latest version of MARC21 were analyzed. In addition, for the continuous revision of 「KORMARC Format for Authority Data」, the revision procedure of MARC21 was investigated to draw implications for the KORMARC revision method. Data was collected and utilized through literature reviews, MARC21 analysis, interviews with professors and librarians.

In this paper, we proposed the effectively method for constructing of name authority data in korean academic papers and designed the authority database system that is applied the method. For these, we analyze the requisite for identifying the author name and suggest the author identification method. Because construction of name authority record costs time and effort, and considering frequently period of large-scale acquisitions of academic papers, our suggestion includes the system that be able to manage and construct the name authority database, and that is tightly connected with the academic paper management and service systems.

This paper reviews various aspects of authouity control system and presents prerequistes for an effective authority control in our future cooperative cataloging. It can be summarized as follows. First, numerous factors affecting authority control must be analyzed and consistent procedures and policies on the authority control have to be established. Second, to make an effective bibiographic data base there must be a standard for the information processing and a systematic organization for information sharing and communicating. Third, for this objective we have to build a MARC format, establish a network for the exchange of automatic authority records among systems, standardize the transcription of multscripts, and establish a centralized automatic authority system for a consistent maintenance of authorityrecords of the union data base. Fourth, it would be one of the best way of achieving cooperative cataloging to set up such a nation-wide authority control system as the NACO in Japan.
