Perspectives for the future development of authority data in the COBISS system

Andreja Krajnc Vobovnik

Consequently, the preparation of authority data will help when implementing IFLA LRM and will prove useful during the transition to RDA (Resource Description and Access). The overview of authority data situation in the COBISS.net system with the focus on the Slovenian COBISS.SI system is presented.
