  • In the frame of new services' growth of information organisation, the concretisation of protocol Z39.50 for search-retrieval of information is a common place. The majority of libraries allocate their catalogues, usually in on-line environment, with possibilities of search and recuperation of their bibliographic records, providing thus open access but also placing the bases for growth of other services directed in the practice of common use of resources. One of the resources are also the library's Authority Files, which the announcement, disposal and common use constitutes decisive factor for the improvement of interoperability of libraries. With given the de facto use of Z39.50 protocol, the questions that are placed are how much the application and its use in the processes of search, disposal and common use of Authority Files is feasible and in which degree it can contribute in the achievement of previous objective. In this frame, Bath Profile of concretisation of Z39.50, inter alia fixes also the specifications for search and retrievaal of Authority Files' records. The basic philosophy of Z39.50 for search and retrieval in the frame of architectural client-server remains, certain, identical, but henceforth source of results constitutes an Authority File (names, titles, subjects). Thus, the indeces of search as well as the form of results are shaped according to corresponding models, rules and governing directives (MARC Authorities, GARR etc.). Objectives of this proposal are, the presentation of search mechanism of Authority Files records using protocol Z39.50, as well as its concretisation in the system of access of information sources of National Centre of Documentation “Argo”. We believe that this work can constitute spark for the examination of problems that concerns the semantic interoperability of data in the frame of Authority Files' management.
