Overview
Overview The first phase of MARS 2.0 Authority Control comprises a wide variety of routines that update and correct individual subfields and contiguous pairs of subfields. These corrections are based on a number of subfield update tables maintained by MARS 2.0 authorities librarians.
Authority Cleanup cleans up headings to facilitate matching on national-level authority records during the matching process. MARS 2.0 Authority Cleanup subfield correction routines include: • Updating obsolete forms of subdivisions to the current form • Correcting common typographical errors • Expanding abbreviations in subject subfields to their fuller form • Converting common direct geographic subdivisions to their indirect form • Deleting subject subdivisions which have been canceled or discontinued • Correcting spacing, capitalization, and punctuation
