Booktrade attribute clusters

I'm becoming more interested in using aat for 368, 372, and 374, because it's actually a thesaurus built according to a sophisticated syndetic structure according to international standards. Here are some comparisons.

What about separating name of denomination and "Clergy" by using the church in the 373 and Clergy in 374?

Theater attribute clusters

This covers actors, directors, &c. Those writing for the theater are under "Creative writing"

  • Theater companies are a Group One entity in LC's "Division of the World" (found in SHM H 405 and DCM Z1). This means that they are always established according to descriptive cataloging conventions and reside in the name authority file. We can establish these ourselves.
  • Theater buildings are a Group Two entity. This means they are always established according to subject cataloging conventions with authority records that reside either in the name or subject authority files. If we needed to trace a named theater building, we would propose it through SACO. (Need to confirm.)
  • For structures (including theaters) housing corporate bodies known by the same name as the corporate body that occupies it: "a corporate name heading is established for the body and that name heading is used as a subject heading for works about either the organization of the building." (SCH H 1334)

368

  • Business enterprises ǂ2 lcsh

372

aat

  • theaters (institutions) (<institutions by activity>, institutions (organizations), ... Organizations (Hierarchy Name)) [for example, the "Elizabethan Theatre" (or whatever its name is) at the Folger.
  • theater companies (<business enterprises by function>, businesses (business enterprises), ... Organizations (Hierarchy Name)) Note: A theater production system based on a permanent association of actors, and often a particular location or theater structure. Professional theater companies evolved during the Renaissance in response to urbanization in the major countries of Europe. Modern theater companies follow the same model as the earliest ones: a group of actors, scenarists, and technicians devoted to presenting theatrical performances.
