Domain-specific

• Authority Record
  • Library name and subject cataloging — the home: the Library of Congress Name Authority File governs personal names, corporate bodies, conferences, and works, so searches for "Twain, Mark" and "Clemens, Samuel L." resolve to one authorized identity. Federated and international authority clustering — the Virtual International Authority File clusters national-library records under a shared identifier, preserving authority integrity across institutions despite local naming variation. Museum and gallery cataloging — the Getty vocabularies (ULAN for artists, AAT for materials and styles, TGN for places) govern how a collection database refers to its entities

    This sourceAn introduction to controlled vocabularies that covers the Getty vocabularies (ULAN, AAT, TGN) as the term sources used for cataloguing and retrieval in cultural-collection databases.

• Cross-reference Relation
  • LCSH, MeSH, the AAT, and ERIC all implement essentially this inventory, with minor terminological variations

    This sourceA comparative account of the relationship apparatus of controlled vocabularies, treating LCSH, MeSH and the Art & Architecture Thesaurus and noting terminological variation between authorities.

• Entry Term Alias
  • Biomedical literature indexing (MeSH) — the home: entry terms / "see from" references route variant phrasings ("heart attack" → "Myocardial Infarction", "AZT" → "Zidovudine") to the canonical descriptor, expanded silently in PubMed search. Library cataloging (LCSH UF entries) — "Used For" fields on authority records route a non-preferred form (e.g. "Autos (Automobiles)", "Cars (Automobiles)") to its authorised heading ("Automobiles") without the alias accruing its own index entries. Domain thesauri (Getty AAT) — alternate labels routing variant terms to the preferred form within an art-and-architecture vocabulary

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 6 of 6 citations: 6 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
