[yul-naco] Artists’ groups and corp. bodies

[Bourassa, Dominique]

Hi Zoe,

The artists’ group should be established as a 110. Therefore, it fits the RDA definition of “corporate body,” that is “An organization or group of persons and/or organizations that is identified by a particular name and that acts, or may act, as a unit.” As such, it can be recorded in 373. It could also be recorded in 510 with or without a relationship designator.

Dear collective NACO wisdom,

Maybe you can help with this issue that came up during NACO review. I have a corporate body NAR to be established, and it is associated with an artists’ group/collective that has NOT been established, and I want to show this relationship. The artist’s group is of the type that SHM H 405 indicates should be established in the Subject Authority File (were I to establish it). Given that information, I’d initially thought the relationship could be shown via:
110 2_ $a Name of corporate body
373 __ $a Name of artists’ group (without $2)
since 373 is for an “Associated group” and not “Associated corporate body”. However, that feels like I am stretching the rules and I can’t find a precedent in NAF, so I wanted to get a 2nd opinion.
In the case of personal names, I’ve seen a few instances of:
100 1_ $a Name of person
372 __ $a Name of artists’ group $2 lcsh
(e.g. ARN 5629183, although I can’t find many examples)
I suppose I could do the same with a 372 in a corporate body NAR. What do you all think? Would it just be safer to omit a 3XX for this altogether and keep the information in the 670?

Thanks,
Zoe
