Information:
The Main Entry - Corporate Name (110 tag) of the MARC 21
bibliographic record contains a name heading for the
corporate body or performing group responsible for the
intellectual or artistic content of the work.
AACR2 covers main and added entries in chapter 21, "Choice of
Access Points" and RDA covers them in Chapter 19 "Persons,
Families, and Corporate Bodies Associated With a Work." The
purpose of the main entry is to establish the form in which
a work is to be uniformly cited. Using a main entry heading
will make it easier for a library user to find a resource
listed in a bibliography or footnote.
In each cataloging record one access point is chosen as the main
entry heading. Main entry headings appear not only in a 110 tag
(corporate name), but also in the 100 tag (personal name), the
111 tag (meeting name), or the 130 tag (uniform title). In addition,
anonymous works, collections or works produced under editorial
direction, and some publications of corporate bodies use the title
statement (245 tag) as the main entry. Corporate name headings not
used as the main entry appear in the 710 tag.
Many AACR2 rules cover the choice of headings for main entry -
corporate name. Rule 21.1B2 directs to use the corporate body
as the main entry heading for administrative items, committee
reports or other internal documents, and legal or governmental
works holding the force of law (see also rules 21.31-21.39).
In addition, use the corporate body as the main entry for
liturgical works, religious laws, the collective work of
performing groups, and cartographic material created by a
corporate body. RDA guideline 19.2.1.1.1 provides instructions
on entering corporate bodies as creators for works of an
administrative nature; works that record the collective thought
of the body such as committee reports; legal works such as laws,
court rules;cartographic works created by a corporate body and
collective activity of a performing group. RDA 19.2.1.1.2 instructs
on when government and religious officials are considered
to be creators of official communications.
AACR2 Chapter 24, "Headings for Corporate Bodies", contains rules
for constructing corporate names in AACR2 form. RDA 11.13.1.1
gives general guidelines on constructing authorized access points
for corporate bodies.
Subfield a of the 110 tag usually contains the corporate name in
direct order or the name of a jurisdiction (country, state, etc.).
Older record may contain corporate names in inverted order. Subfield
b contains a subdivision of a corporate body. Subfield b may be
repeated to show levels of hierarchy in an organization. Subfields c,
d, and n contain information about the location, date, and number of
meetings of a corporate body, such as, sessions of legislative bodies
or annual meetings of corporations and organizations.
