dc.description.abstractGuidelines for understanding the structure of Arabic personal names for constructing valid entries and access points in catalogues, including romanization schemes. This 2018 IFLA document covers both classical and modern Arabic naming conventions, detailing elements such as ism, kunya, nasab, laqab, and nisba. It emphasizes the importance of identifying the shuhra (best-known name form), outlines cataloguing rules, and lists key standards and tools used for authority control across the Arabic-speaking world.
