How are corporate names handled?
Corporate names include the sponsoring agency (the agency funding the report) and the research agency (the agency doing the research and writing the report). As the distributor of the DOE full-text reports through OSTI.GOV, OSTI is listed as the distributor. If the format of the corporate name in the OSTI.GOV record has been matched against the LC Name Authority database, the corporate name is placed in the 710 field – added entry – corporate name. Otherwise the corporate name is placed in the 720 field – added entry – uncontrolled name. However, OSTI is aware that many libraries do not support the 720 field. In those libraries, the 720 data is not loaded and/or does not display in library catalogs. Since corporate names can be very important in identifying specific technical reports, the corporate names placed in the 720 field are duplicated in a 500 field.
