*Andrew, as always, most helpful news, kindest thanks! more [YZ] below:* *1. No disagreement, except that some 151 appears in the name file and some appear in the subject file:* *n82068148 008/11=a 008/14=a 151 _ _ $a England* *sh2010015057 008/11=a 008/14=b 151 _ _ $a Tabasco Mountains (Mexico)* *[YZ] would it be possible then to use both files as sources and create one file for geographical names for our purpose(s)?*
*2. Yes, see n50000359* *151 _ _ $a Sonora (Mexico : State)* *751 _ _ $z Mexico $z Sonora (State)* ***[YZ] Both stand for a distinct cataloging usage. Jonathan's suggestion to consult LC may answer the question of which field/when to use for geographical names * *3. Oops, my apologies to my VIAF colleagues, I believe that geographic names are in the works… * ***[YZ] inshAllah!* * * *4. That is probably correct. England may appear as both a 110 *and* a 151 because the 110 signifies the concept for the country entity while the 151 signifies the concept for the geographic place. A subtle distinction...* *[YZ] Exactly. This distinction called for creating both a 110 AND a 151. But we are talking about 151. The case where there is both a 110 and a 151 does NOT apply to geographic names, only to some.* * * *[YZ] VIAF would be helpful to provide a way to limit geographical names ONLY to 151 names and their cross references.*
