Hi André, It may be worth noting that the data you describe are called "authority records" e.g. definitive names for authors and subject terms. You can import authority MARC records from a prior system using the Tools > Stage MARC records for import page. It may also be worth researching these two settings:
- BiblioAddsAuthorities <https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/html/02_administration.html?#biblioaddsauthorities> - AutoCreateAuthorities <https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/html/02_administration.html?#autocreateauthorities> which relate to the automatic creation of authority records when terms are used in bibliographic records. If you later import your bibliographic records, they may generate a bunch of authority records in any case depending on how your configure those options. Good luck!
