Project scope

This project is looking at all the various imaginary headings (organizations, places, vehicles, etc.) and fictional character groups (i.e., the X-Men) and considering how they could be moved into the Name Authority File instead, following a request from the Library of Congress. The group is creating best practices for creating these headings, considering mandatory and optional inclusions and so on.
