At the recent meeting of the BIBCO/CONSER OpCo meeting, Paul
Weiss (UCSD), chair of the Standing Committee on Standards, provided an update
on the status of the recommendation from the final report of the TG on the
Function of the Authority File that calls for the PCC to officially name the
authority file: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/tgauthrpt_fin.pdf : Recommendation #1 : Clarify
Official Authority File Names.
Interest in the background discussions and final
recommendations of the SCS resulted in a suggestion that the report be
posted on the SCS Home Page in order to informally poll the PCC
membership. That report is now available at: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/tgauthfile_namerec1.pdf
DEADLINE: Comments, etc. should be sent
directly to Paul Weiss at [log in to unmask] by May 31,
2004.
