Name Access Control
The latest D-Lib Magazine has a notice about the XML Name Access Control Repository.
The XML Name Access Control Repository is an initiative of Hong Kong University of Science & Technology Library and is intended to address the problems experienced by catalogers and library catalog users in identifying personal authors whose names are in non-Latin scripts.In view of the limitations that currently exist in library systems and cataloging standards regarding the recording and linking of multi-lingual name information, we conducted a research for new approaches to deal with the problem. As a result of our study, we developed a Person Model based on the name access control concept, designed a metadata schema derived from the Library of Congress' MARC XML, and implemented the Repository on an XML-based document management system.
