VII. Citing the DataA. General Information1. Give the name as it appears in full in the source being cited (including the work beingcataloged. If the entire heading (1XX) appears exactly the same in the title of the workcited, it is not necessary to repeat the heading in parentheses. This is the only casewhere the parenthetical statement may be omitted. (See III. Citing the Title: example.)2. Automated authority record generation programs may supply additional information fromthe bibliographic record from which the authority record is being made, e.g., completestatements of responsibility. In order to maintain the cost effectiveness of theseprograms, use judgment in deciding what information can remain in the $b and what isreally extraneous to the record being created and should be deleted.3. If the name or information about the name appears in the same form in different locationsin a single source, do not repeat this information.4. If the name cited is not in the nominative case, it is not necessary to amplify the citation to"explain" this, although a mark of omission may be used to indicate that surroundingwords have been omitted.5. All data must be given in standard romanized form. It is understood that any romanizationtranscribed is the cataloger's romanization. When transcribing a romanized form found ina non-roman item, add after it the bracketed phrase: [in rom.]. In such languages asArabic and Hebrew, vowels are commonly omitted from the orthography of texts, and thecataloger supplies the missing vowels in transcribing data. When transcribing text thatdoes include the vowels, add after it in brackets [voc.] or [part voc.] to note vocalization,as appropriate.6. Data other than names should be given in as brief a form as possible. Abbreviateliberally. Generally translate data in foreign languages into English, paraphrasing orsummarizing where possible. However, do not translate names and titles, or otherdistinguishing terms that could be used in the 1XX field to break a conflict.7. To facilitate international contribution and use of records in the authority file, when givingdates use the abbreviated forms for months given in AACR Appendix B.15.46
