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

[Dobbs, Zoe]

Thanks, Dominique. I’ll admit the nature of this artists’ group is unclear, and seemed to fall into the subject heading category of “artists’, composers’, etc., groups that are often informally organized, may not
be self-named, and do not play a role in collectively promoting and marketing their work” (SHM H 405, page 15), although in this case the group is self-named. But if I can interpret this as a corporate body, then I can record it in the 373 and my dilemma is solved.

Thanks again!

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
