Authority-controlled
field.
For non-UN publications, see also the guidelines for
tag 110.
When a
corporate body is identified as responsible for an item, the authority-
controlled name as found in the UNBIS Name Authority File is entered in
710 $a.
If an
UNBIS authority record for a corporate name does not exist, a new
authority record is created.
Corporate
names may be names of organizations and their subsidiary bodies and
divisions, offices, projects and programmes; institutions,
associations, centres, etc. Names of States or governments and their
subsidiary departments and agencies are corporate names (note, however,
that names of countries as subjects are not 610
corporate subjects, but 650 topical geographic subjects).
Example:
245
10 $a Peaceful uses of nuclear energy
520 $a Transmits
report by the French Atomic Energy Commission on its role in
agriculture and the agro-food industry.
610 17 $a France.

Every
session or meeting of a corporate name is a separate name authority
record. The session number, year and place are enclosed within
parentheses after the corporate name in subfield $a.
Additional MARC21 subfield codes for tag 710 are not
used in UNBIS:

(60th sess. : 2004 : Geneva)
For UN documents, the cataloguing «rule
of three» is generally not applied and the abbreviation «[et al.]» is not used in recording the
statement of responsibility (245 $c). All corporate names in
the statement of responsibility recorded in 245 $c
(or otherwise identified in the bibliographic record as responsible for
the item) are added in separate 710 fields. In
recording multiple 710 fields, it is desirable to
follow the order in which they appear in the statement of
responsibility; in alphabetical order for lists of country sponsors of
draft resolutions/decisions; or in the order that makes most sense.
When statements of
responsibility are not present in
the title area of a work and are not recorded in tag 245, but are found elsewhere on the
item, add a General Note (tag 500)
identifying the entity responsible
(or sharing responsibility) for the content (or significant partial
content) of
the work, and assign the authority-controlled names as added personal,
corporate or conference entries (tags 700,
710 or 711).
A common type of
document consists of a report or note by the UN Secretary-General or
Secretariat transmitting information, comments or replies received from
Governments, UN bodies and agencies, intergovernmental or
non-governmental
organizations. For such documents, all the Governments and/or
organizations responsible for the transmitted information should be
assigned in
repeats of tag 710 following
the
entry for the Secretary-General or Secretariat, in the order in which
the
replies are contained in the document. Since they do not appear in the
statement of responsibility recorded in tag 245 $c, add a general note (tag 500) as instructed in the guidelines
for tag 500, Note identifying
personal, conference or corporate authors not included in the statement
of responsibility.
Example:
191 $a A/62/95(PartI)/Add.1
245 10 $a Establishment of
a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region of the Middle East : $b report of the
Secretary-General : addendum
500 $a Transmits replies
received from Bolivia and Egypt.
505 0_ $a 3. Replies
received from Governments.
710 2_ $a UN.
Secretary-General
710 2_ $a Bolivia
710 2_ $a Egypt
If a document
summarizes replies or information received from Governments etc., but
does not
actually contain the text of the replies, the note in tag 500 should begin with the word
Summarizes
instead of the word Transmits, and
the names are not assigned as added
corporate entries (tag 710).
Names of organizations may be
assigned as corporate subject entries (tag 610)
and Governments may be assigned as geographic subject terms (tag 650) if the document provides
information about their policies or activities.
Example:
245 10 $a Human rights

500 $a Summarizes

If the name of
the issuing body and session information appearing on the document
title page
below the masthead are represented by the document series symbol
and session (field 191 $bc),
they are generally not
assigned as 710 Corporate
Names except in case of sessional reports (final or draft), instruments
adopted at the session such
as resolutions, decisions, recommendations, etc., or in case the name
appears in a statement of responsibility.
However, if the
document series symbol and session in field 191 $bc do not represent the name
and session information appearing
on the document title page, add a General Note (tag 500) and assign tag 710 for
the name and session appearing on the document.

In case of a UN draft resolution or
decision (089
Content Code B02),
sponsored by a UN Member State on behalf of a non-UN intergovernmental
organization, only the UN Member State is assigned in tag 710,
not the intergovernmental organization. Non-UN intergovernmental
organizations having consultative status with the UN that may appear in
statements of responsibility (245 $c) but are not
assigned in tag 710
include the Coordinating Bureau of the Non-Aligned Movement, the
European Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the
League of Arab States.
However,
when a UN
draft resolution/decision is sponsored by a UN Member State on behalf
of a grouping of UN Member States that have grouped together as a means
for countries to articulate and promote their collective interests and
enhance their joint negotiating capacity on all major international
economic and social issues within the UN system, both the UN Member
State and the UN country grouping are assigned in tag 710.
Examples of such country groupings within the UN system are the
regional groups of States (Group of African States, etc.), so-called
"Like-minded groups", and the Group of 77.
Examples:
089

In the
case of UN sales publications,
unsymbolled UN
publications, or serials
(single issues or series
records), a corporate name entry for the issuing body should always be
assigned in tag 710. Often the
name of the issuing body for these types of publications appears in the
imprint (tag 260 $b).
Examples:

If the
name of a
body or organization appearing on an item is different from the name as
it has
been established in a name authority record, staff should be attentive
as to whether
it is a case of a change in the name or simply a variant form of the
name. If
it is a variant form of the name, it may be helpful to add it as a
cross-reference
in the name authority record (tag 410);
however, if it is a case of a name change, it will probably require
creation of
a new name authority record with an earlier-later relationship between
the
names. In some cases a change to the name established in the authority
record
may be required. Such cases should be brought to the attention of the
authority
revisers. Refer to the .
