Abstrakt: This study investigates how user-generated tags that describe musicians align with the name authority attributes specified in the Resource Description and Access (RDA) cataloging standard, specifically within the realm of popular music. Findings reveal significant alignment between user-generated tags and RDA person attributes, showcasing the potential for user-generated tags to enhance authority records and resolve complex queries. The study highlights the importance of adapting cataloging practices to leverage user-generated data in name authority records work to mitigate biases, improve identification of people, and enhance information resource access.
