 The CERL Thesaurus records the preferred name forms of an entity as they are used in CERL Member libraries. Heading forms differ according to the language used for cataloguing and the cataloguing rules applied. The CERL Thesaurus does not declare one of these name forms as authoritative, but lists them alphabetically indicating the institutions that use that particular form. Thus, there is no "CERL form" for a heading. The name form given as a headline in a record's full display is the first heading recorded within that record, its prominent position does not imply any indication of preference for that form.
-Variant name forms do now have an additional code, indicating the type of the name form (**$0** in **4xx** fields). This code is mandatory. If in doubt, use ''varn'' as a default.

 ==== 3.5 Related Places ====
-Records for persons, printers and corporate entities can be linked to places where they have lived or have been active in any way. The type of relationship between such an entity and a place can be specified as well, which facilitates more sophisticated search queries (for example for persons that went to school in a given place).
+Records for persons, printers and corporate entities can be linked to places where they have lived or have been active in any way. The type of relationship between such an entity and a place can be specified as well, which facilitates more sophisticated search queries (for example for persons that went to school in a given place). It is possible to record also an address together with the place name.
 There can also be a relationship between two places. Currently it is possible to describe a place as being a part of another, larger place, for example a village that is nowadays part of a larger city.

+==== 3.7 Signs, Marks, Devices ====
+Any sign, image or mark associated with a given entity can be described in the records for persons, corporate bodies and printers. This could be provenance marks, library stamps, printers devices etc. Signs, particularly printers' devices, used together with or instead of an address are recorded together with the place of activity (see above). Links to images of such devices/marks/signs can be provided as well. For a detailed description of the input convention applying see:

+Images of the actual entities themselves (e.g. portraits) can be added as well. It is however not possible to upload image data to the CERL Thesaurus server, instead a link to an external resource is set. When doing so, make sure that the intellectual property rights of others are not violated. For a detailed description of the input convention applying see:
