Input Conventions
Literary figures and figures from the mythology will be coded with code value 0; code value 1 is for pseudonyms and purposefully made up entities (i.e. ficticious printing places)
The code value 2 should be used with caution. Records included into the CERL Thesaurus via an automated data ingesting process will have the code value 2 if it can be suspected that a record is actually describing more than one entity. These records might be split up into records for each entity or even be deleted entirely.
Code value 3 indicates that the name or “persona” given in the heading has purposely been used by more than one entity. I.e. as a collective pseudonym, a family name etc.
When merging duplicates, it might be necessary to change the code in field 110, since this field cannot be repeated within a record. The code in a merged record must be one of the following 0, 1 or 3 and must by no means be 2 or 9. Change the codes according to the following table
| Code in rec. A | Code in rec. B | Code in merged record | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| 0 | 1 | 0 | Merge only, if the name given in rec. B is a pseudonym of the entity described in rec. A. Make a note (300 General note (O;R)) to indicate this fact. Beware of entities that are entirely ficticious, these must not be merged with records describing actual entites |
| 0 | 2 | – | Don't merge |
| 0 | 3 | – | Don't merge |
| 0 | 9 | 0 | |
| 1 | 2 | – | Don't merge |
| 1 | 3 | – | Don't merge, unless rec. A actually records a collective pseudonym (in that case use 3 in the resulting record |
| 1 | 9 | 1 | |
| 2 | 2 | – | Don't merge |
| 2 | 3 | – | Don't merge |
| 2 | 9 | – | Don't merge |
| 3 | 9 | 3 |
