    CONOR – Authority file for personal and corporate names

    CONOR is an authority database containing author names (personal and corporate names).

    Content

    CONOR contains authority records with data on personal names of authors. It is intended for authority control of personal and corporate names. Authority control is based on linking bibliographic and authority records.

    Authority records include headings (accepted name forms) uniformly defined for the use in the entire cataloguing system and other data, e.g. variant headings, related headings, notes, etc. The database is updated daily for the purposes of shared cataloguing.
