One international effort to prevent such confusion is the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Virtual_International_Authority_File?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Virtual International Authority File">Virtual International Authority File</a> which is a collaborative attempt to provide a single heading for a particular subject. It is a way to standardize information from different authority files around the world such as the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Integrated_Authority_File?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Integrated Authority File">Integrated Authority File</a> (GND) maintained and used cooperatively by many libraries in German-speaking countries and the United States <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Library_of_Congress?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Library of Congress">Library of Congress</a>. The idea is to create a single worldwide virtual authority file. For example, the ID for <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Princess_Diana?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Princess Diana">Princess Diana</a> in the GND is 118525123 (preferred name: Diana < Wales, Prinzessin>) while the United States Library of Congress uses the term Diana, Princess of Wales, 1961–1997; other authority files have other choices. The Virtual International Authority File choice for all of these variations is VIAF ID: 107032638 — that is, a common number representing all of these variations.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Authority_file?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-VIAF-18">[18]</a> The English Wikipedia prefers the term "Diana, Princess of Wales", but at the bottom of the article about her, there are links to various international cataloging efforts for reference purposes. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="Same_name_describes_two_different_subjects">Same name describes two different subjects</h3> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Authority_control&action=edit&section=4&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Same name describes two different subjects" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Sometimes two different authors have been published under the same name.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Authority_file?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-tws2NovYfuf-10">[10]</a> This can happen if there is a title which is identical to another title or to a collective uniform title.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Authority_file?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-tws2NovYfuf-10">[10]</a> This, too, can cause confusion. Different authors can be distinguished correctly from each other by, for example, adding a middle initial to one of the names; in addition, other information can be added to one entry to clarify the subject, such as birth year, death year, range of active years such as 1918–1965 when the person <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Floruit?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Floruit">flourished</a>, or a brief descriptive epithet.

This separate index is often referred to as an "authority file". It contains an indexable record of all decisions made by catalogers in a given library (or—as is increasingly the case—cataloging consortium), which catalogers consult when making, or revising, decisions about headings. As a result, the records contain documentation about sources used to establish a particular preferred heading, and may contain information discovered while researching the heading which may be useful.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Authority_file?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Calhoun-17">[17]</a> While authority files provide information about a particular subject, their primary function is not to provide information but to organize it.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Authority_file?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Calhoun-17">[17]</a> They contain enough information to establish that a given author or title is unique, but that is all; irrelevant but interesting information is generally excluded. Although practices vary internationally, authority records in the English-speaking world generally contain the following information: <ul> <li>Headings show the preferred title chosen as the official and authorized version. It is important that the heading be unique; if there is a conflict with an identical heading, then one of the two will have to be chosen:</li> </ul> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style> <blockquote class="templatequote"> Since the headings function as access points, making sure that they are distinct and not in conflict with existing entries is important. For example, the English novelist William Collins (1824–89), whose works include the Moonstone and The Woman in White is better known as Wilkie Collins. Cataloguers have to decide which name the public would most likely look under, and whether to use a see also reference to link alternative forms of an individual's name. <div class="templatequotecite"> — <cite>Mason, M.K., Purpose of authority work and files, <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=auto&tl=en&hl=en-GB&u=http://www.moyak.com/papers/libraries-bibliographic-control.html">http://www.moyak.com/papers/libraries-bibliographic-control.html</a></cite> </div> </blockquote> <ul> <li>Cross references are other forms of the name or title that might appear in the catalog and include:</li> </ul> <ol> <li>see references are forms of the name or title that describe the subject but which have been passed over or deprecated in favor of the authorized heading form</li> <li>see also references point to other forms of the name or title that are also authorized.

Catalogers at the United States Library of Congress chose one form—"O'Brien, Flann, 1911–1966"—as the official heading.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Authority_file?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-20">[20]</a> The example contains all three elements of a valid authority record: the first heading O'Brien, Flann, 1911–1966 is the form of the name that the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Library_of_Congress?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Library of Congress">Library of Congress</a> chose as authoritative. In theory, every record in the catalog that represents a work by this author should have this form of the name as its author heading. What follows immediately below the heading beginning with Na Gopaleen, Myles, 1911–1966 are the see references. These forms of the author's name will appear in the catalog, but only as transcriptions and not as headings. If a user queries the catalog under one of these variant forms of the author's name, he or she would receive the response: "See O'Brien, Flann, 1911–1966." There is an additional spelling variant of the Gopaleen name: "Na gCopaleen, Myles, 1911–1966" has an extra C inserted because the author also employed the non-anglicized Irish spelling of his pen-name, in which the capitalized C shows the correct root word while the preceding g indicates its pronunciation in context. So if a library user comes across this spelling variant, he or she will be led to the same author regardless. See also references, which point from one authorized heading to another authorized heading, are exceedingly rare for personal name authority records, although they often appear in name authority records for corporate bodies.

Naturally, there was a considerable difference in the authority files of the different libraries. For the early part of library history, it was generally accepted that, as long as a library's catalog was internally consistent, the differences between catalogs in different libraries did not matter greatly. As libraries became more attuned to the needs of researchers and began interacting more with other libraries, the value of standard cataloging practices came to be recognized. With the advent of automated database technologies, catalogers began to establish cooperative consortia, such as <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/OCLC?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="OCLC">OCLC</a> and <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/RLIN?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="RLIN">RLIN</a> in the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/United_States?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="United States">United States</a>, in which cataloging departments from libraries all over the world contributed their records to, and took their records from, a shared database.
