making them available for all interested.
Essentially, given your 6 months latency compared to http://id.loc.gov) and
the inclusion of NAF and non-NAF headings in Identities,
both Terminologies and Identities are not

still very interesting and useful services.

Kevin,
England exists as a corporate body and also as a geographic name. BOTH
entities exist in LCSH. This doesn't apply to all geographic names, only to
some.

Jonathan, hi and thanks,

*Hi and thank you Ross, Jonathan, and Andy,
I do wish someone from LC would answer Jonathan's questions for all codes
and geographic subdivision or subject implications. There's so much
self-inflicted pain I can go through trying to revive my cataloging days.
Here are some clarifications though:
Karen Miller works at Northwestern University where an authorities librarian
has been maintaining, to the dot, the authority related records (headings,
subdivisions, encoding, etc.) for over 20 years. If a cataloger there makes
a mistake, that will be fixed by the refined set of procedures run
Karen,

- Identities in WorldCat are based on literary warrant, i.e., names for
people who authored/edited something or were subject in someone else's
literary work. Personal names in WikiPedia are not entered according to
literary warrant. Nor is their form vetted according to NAF.
*Ode to your cheers: a**s a personal name, with birth and death dates, in
NAF, is not an ambiguous heading. toolserver.org is all yours.*

Daniel, the template's very good indeed.
