Il trattamento catalografico degli enti collettivi dalla Conferenza di Parigi (1961) al First IFLA Meeting of Experts on an International Cataloguing Code (2003)

The use of headings for corporate body names was codified by Antonio Panizzi with his 91 rules, in 1841; the idea of intellectual authorship of corporate body names was proposed and adopted by Charles Coffin Jewett in the same years; i becomes a principle with many rules with Charles Ammi Cutter in his "Rules for a dictionary catalogue del 1904". At the end of XIX century Germany rejected the heading for corporate body names (Karl Dziatzko). In Italy, Giuseppe Fumagalli brings in the use of subject headings in his cataloguing rules. This paper analyses the list of uniform subject headings made by IFLA, the theoretical remarks made in Verona, Domanovszky and Carpenter, the documents Form and structure of corporate headings (FSCH), Structures of corporate name headings (SCNH), and International standard archival authority record for corporate bodies, persons and families ISAAR(CPF)
