Authority records are structured into information areas based on the ICA's International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR(CPF)). This section describes how to create, edit and delete authority records. The Data entry pages gives detailed notes and explanations on every field included on the Edit screen; where there is a one-to-one correspondence between an ISAAR(CPF) element of description and an ICA-AtoM field, the note typically just gives the ISAAR(CPF) rule verbatim.
