    Abstract
    This article examines the motivations for the collaboration between the British Library and Library of Congress to develop a joint (Anglo-American) authority file. It describes the obstacles that had to be overcome for the British Library to become a Name Authority Cooperative (NACO) "copy holder", or node. It considers the contribution the British Library made to NACO, the benefits it has derived from participation in Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC), and concludes by looking ahead to the next 25 years.

    Abstract
    Reports the activities of the Program for Cooperative Cataloguing (PCC) Task Group of Name versus Subject, charged with reviewing policies for the content designation and formulation of entries with characteristics common to both names and subjects. The Task Group consusted of representatives from the National Library of Canada, the British Library, the Library of Congress and the art library community, and its objective is to make cooperative cataloguing better, faster and cheaper by streamlining policy and promoting common standards

    Abstract
    The British Library and the Library of Congress have reinforced their mutual committment to the efficient exchange of high quality bibliographic data by a number of cooperative programmes of which the Cataloguing Policy Convergence Agreement is one example. Sets out the reasons why cataloguing policy differences still exist

    Abstract
    The requirement for and development of the Anglo-American Authority File (AAAF) is described. The mechanics of its production and updating are indicated and its role within British Library cataloguing practice examined. Further developments of the file are discussed and developments through IFLA towards international exchange of authority data are described, indicating both opportunities and difficulties. The EC-funded project AUTHOR is outlined and, finally, the British Library's work with the Library of Congress and American Library Association on extending LCSH to works of fiction is described.

    Abstract
    RDA has always been a continually evolving standard that aims to reflect the requirements of the cataloguing community. Simon Edwards will highlight the steps towards a further internationalisation and exploration of wider cultural heritage description communities. Gordon Dunsire will point out the potential implementations of RDA data in various database structures and describes the possibilities for further work with RDA and linked data scenarios in international communities. The third part of the article reflects the experience of the British Library in applying RDA in the last years. Alan Danskin gives an overview of the transition period from the project organization until training.

    Abstract
    This is an overview of the development of FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) from its inception in the late 1990s, through its development and implementation to the work being undertaken by OCLC and the FAST Policy and Outreach Committee (FPOC) to develop and promote FAST. FPOC members explain how FAST is used by institutions in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. They cover their experience of implementing FAST and the benefits they have derived. The final section considers the value of FAST as a faceted vocabulary and the potential for future development and linked data.
