Edit authority record: identity area. Asterisks denote required fields

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

"Specify whether the description is a function or one of its subdivisions, in accordance with national or international terminology." 5.1.1

ICA-AtoM ships with a drop-down menu using a default taxonomy of six core types (function, subfunction, business process, task, activity, transaction); these cannot be removed or edited, but editors or administrators can add new types.

Authorized form(s) of name

"Record the authorised form(s) of name of the function. Use the territorial or administrative scope of the function, the name of the institution which performed it and other qualifiers as appropriate to distinguish the function from other functions with similar names. This element is to be used in conjunction with the Function description identifier element (5.4.1)." 5.1.2


Parallel form(s) of name

The purpose of this field is to "To indicate the various forms in which the authorised form(s) of name occurs in other languages or scripts." 5.1.3


Other form(s) of name

"Record any other names of the function." 5.1.4

Classification

"Record any term and/or code from a function classification scheme. Record the classification scheme used in the Rules and/or conventions used element (5.4.3)." 5.1.5
