Some of these prizes that you mention are for a specific work, and
information about the prize could/should go in the work authority record.
It would be recorded in the history of the work note (MARC 678).
If the information were meant to be more searchable and retrievable than
can be done with a 678 note, then I think we would need a new field in the
authority format, along the lines of the 586 field that we have in the
bibliographic format. It could have subfields for a) name of award b)
year of award c) other information and probably a subfield $2 for the
source of the term used in $a if a controlled form were used. It could be
used on a record for a work or for a record for person/family/corporate
body. For example:
100 1_ $a Catton, Eleanor, $d 1985- $t Luminaries
3XX $a Man Booker Prize $b 2013 $2 lcsh
130 _0 $a Argo (Motion picture)
3XX $a Academy Award $b 2013 $c Best Picture
110 2_ $a Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
3XX $a Nobel Peace Prize $b 2013
3XX $a Nobel Prizes $b 2013 $c Peace $2 lcsh
100 1_ $a Lawrence, Jennifer, $d 1990-
3XX $a Academy Award $b 2013 $c Best Actress, in Silver linings
playbook
I suppose even if this information is not covered in FRAD or RDA, someone
could still make a MARC proposal to establish a field and subfields for
the information.
I should also point out that newly established field 386 for
Creator/Contributor Characteristics could possibly sometimes be used for a
similar purpose. Right now the field has been limited in scope to works
and expressions: "In title or name/title authority records, a category to
which a creator(s) or contributor(s) to a work belongs." But the original
proposal did discuss the possibility of using it for persons or other
group 2 entities as well. An example could be:
110 2_ $a Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
386 $a Nobel Prize winners $2 lcsh
100 1_ $a Aspect, Alain
386 $a Balzan Prize winners $2 lcsh

Subject: [RDA-L] Prize winners in authority records
Hello,
I think it could be interesting to record, in Persons authority records,
that a given author has been winner of a prize, such a Nobel, Booker,
Pulitzer. Retrieving and grouping authors winners of a given prize can
be of interest for users, although maybe is not an attribute essential
for identification purposes, and not indeed as an addition to access
points. Such an attribute is not in FRAD, thus, it is not in RDA, thus,
it is not in MARC. Field 368 (Other Attributes of Person or Corporate
Body) seems not to fit here.
Any idea? Or maybe is it not such an interesting piece of data to record?
