Synonymous with Undifferentiated personalname.Normalization – The automated process by which headings are compared for uniqueness toprevent duplicate headings and conflicts between records. Under the rules of normalization,all diacritics and punctuation marks (except for the first comma) are removed, all letters areconverted to uppercase, and modified letters are converted to their unmodified forms.Subfield delimiters (but not subfield codes) are retained. Headings that differ only indiacritics, marks of punctuation (except the first comma), or special characters normalize tothe same form and are thus considered in conflict. Such headings need to be furtherdifferentiated. NACO normalization rules appear on the Web at:http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/normrule.html. A full description is available in theDCM Z1.NUC – National Union Catalog.10
