The identity area is where "information is conveyed which uniquely identifies the entity being described and which defines standardized access points for the record" (ISAAR 4.4.1).
Type of entity
"Specify the type of entity (corporate body, person or family) that is being described in this authority record." (ISAAR 5.1.1)
ICA-AtoM ships with a drop-down menu using a default taxonomy of three core types (corporate body, person, family); these cannot be removed or edited, but editors or administrators can add new types.
