Three questions:
1. 500 $w nnnc and 663
When making simple see-also references between real names and pseudonyms, where multiple names are concerned we would (formerly) code the 500 fields $w nnnc (suppressed, in theory), and use 663.
I assume, rightly or wrongly, that we would not use $w nnnc with 500 fields containing the RDA App K relationship designators "real identity" and "alternate identity", but would still (usefully) record a 663, as this maps to RDA 30.2.
Old practice (for a joint pseudonym):
1001 |a Hampton, Peter
5001 |w nnnc |a Franks, Peter
5001 |w nnnc Moore, Simon
663 |a Pseudonym used by Peter Franks and Simon Moore, For works by these authors under their own names, search also under: |b Franks, Peter; |b Moore, Simon
RDA practice:
1001 |a Hampton, Peter
5001 |w r |i real identity |a Franks, Peter
5001 |w r |i real identity |a Moore, Simon
663 |a Pseudonym used by Peter Franks and Simon Moore, For works by these authors under their own names, search also under: |b Franks, Peter; |b Moore, Simon
Is this correct?
2. Unused real names
It also occurs to me that, in order to use these relationship designators at all in LC/NAF, between names, there needs to be an authorised access point and a NAR for all names, even if there are only two names. Does this mean we need to review the practice of treating the unused real name of one pseudonym as a 400?
Old practice:
1001 |a Shute, Nevil, |d 1899-1960
4001 |a Norway, Nevil Shute, |d 1899-1960
RDA practice:
1001 |a Shute, Nevil, |d 1899-1960
5001 |w r |i real identity |a Norway, Nevil Shute, |d 1899-1960
1001 |a Norway, Nevil Shute, |d 1899-1960
5001 |w r |i alternate identity |a Shute, Nevil, |d 1899-1960
Has PCC considered this point?
3. List names
Do we still use list names, or should we now refer from each name to every other?
Many thanks for any observations.
Regards
Richard
