摘要

National Institute of Informatics hosted three workshops were held in Tokyo entitled "Authority Control among Chinese, Korean and Japanese Scripts (CJK Authority)" supported by National Diet Library (NDL), Japan. The aim of this project is to pursue a standardised or harmonised cumulating of the name authority data of Chinese, Korean and Japanese language in other countries. Focus of the workshop is "Name". Names are, in the first instance, "Author Name". In future if the project factors allow, there will be coverage of proper nouns used locally in other countries. The target of this project is a "CJK Interchange Format of Authority Data" that conforms to the IFLA UNIMARC Authorities Format.
