Scope
The Working Group on Functional Requirements and Numbering of Authority Records (FRANAR) was established in April 1999 by the IFLA Division of Bibliographic Control and the IFLA Universal Bibliographic Control and International MARC Programme (UBCIM). Following the end of the UBCIM Programme in 2003, the IFLA-CDNL Alliance for Bibliographic Standards (ICABS) took over joint responsibility for the FRANAR Working Group with the British Library as the responsible body.
The Working Group is charged by the IFLA Division IV:
* To define functional requirements of authority records
* To study the feasibility of an International Standard Authority Data Number
* To serve as the official IFLA liaison to and work with other interested groups concerning authority files.
