you have planned will eliminate a lot of that work for us at Northwestern. <o:p>

I have mixed feelings about this, though – on the one hand, if there is a 046 present, it may include a more granular date than is in the $d, and it would be a shame to lose that. On the other hand, for many records there is no 046 and only a $d. In these
cases, it might be possible to extract appropriate date fields from the $d; Gary Strawn (our former authorities librarian, but still at NUL working archival processing), has written some code that was used to create 046 fields from $d when Library of Congress
started automatically converting selected records from AACR2 into RDA. He mentioned that he’d be happy to share it, if it’s of interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have been done in the example for the Brown (Family : 1910-1956 : Me.), where the $c is mapped to the Qualifier field as “Me.” with the terminal period retained.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Agent record model expanded to accommodate some of the fields that are now being added to name authority records under RDA, such as Fields of Activity, Occupations, Associated Places (including place of birth, place of death, country of residence, headquarters,
etc.), Associated Groups, Gender, and Associated Languages. I know this is way, way out of scope for your project, but I thought it might be useful to get it out there and have people start thinking about it. I work in a NACO library where we add loads of
information like this to authority record in hopes that it will be used by a discovery system at some point in our lifetimes!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">As part of a larger project concerning agent and subject records in ArchivesSpace, a group at Yale has drafted changes we’d like to see in the LCNAF plugin (to be coded by a vendor for use at Yale).
The spec is outlined here:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__drive.google.com_open-3Fid-3D1-5FJt0-5F5-5F9uuu-2DYexjfIdzTQEuJo2GjQ88no8WxHBXPlI&d=DwMFAg&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=P54V6LrXJP5Ddzc8ZItBdqB1Kr3elvFIQ04P7n0UCbQ&m=zS5homH5OTG72slKBPW59J87PR6_v4APDiUa9YxTyeU&s=JHEsLLF3jpBuJNnrqJ39FTpy_1fhcb0fXh0vcM9WOrU&e=">https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_Jt0_5_9uuu-YexjfIdzTQEuJo2GjQ88no8WxHBXPlI</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">There are three tabs. Text in red indicates changes to existing performance of the plugin (except for the third tab – where we propose an entirely new mapping for lcgft).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Some of what we propose may not be universally desired (e.g., using the LC authority URI as AS AuthorityID). Other changes probably ought to be incorporated in the LCNAF plugin for all (e.g.,
<i>don’t</i> create separate AS subject *<b>records</b>* for each variant form in an LCSH record).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
