| Abstract: | The National Library of New Zealand joined the NACO program in 2000, learning to navigate new oceans of metadata from our harbor city of Wellington. Our PCC participation enables us to contribute our knowledge of local names, subjects, and agents to international authority files, and share the workload of authority control with institutions around the world. This paper reflects on our NACO journey, exploring the tensions between following international standards and meeting the needs of diverse communities. Recording indigenous names poses particular challenges, and we are increasingly aware of privacy issues in the context of sharing data. The new Resource Description and Access (RDA) Toolkit may help us create authority metadata that fits local needs while complying with global requirements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
