Összefoglaló	Name authority control evaluation is the systematic assessment of how well a name authority file fulfils its core task: gathering everything by or about a given person, family, or corporate body under one controlled access point, while keeping distinct identities apart. The IFLA Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) model supplies the conceptual yardstick, defining the entities authority data describes and the user tasks — find, identify, contextualize, and justify — that authority control must support. Elaine Svenonius's analysis of the cataloguing objectives explains why collocation and disambiguation are the heart of the matter. Evaluation samples access points, measures collocation (are all of an identity's works gathered?) and disambiguation (are unlike identities kept separate?), and audits the quality of the authority records themselves against FRAD's requirements.	Controlled vocabulary indexing is the process of representing what a document is about by assigning preferred terms drawn from an established controlled vocabulary or thesaurus, rather than from the document's own free-text words. ANSI/NISO Z39.19 codifies the practice: the indexer first performs conceptual analysis to determine a document's aboutness, then translates each concept into the vocabulary's preferred term, choosing how many concepts to capture (exhaustivity) and how finely to express each (specificity). Elaine Svenonius's account of subject languages explains why this controlled translation matters — it eliminates the synonymy and homonymy of natural language so that one concept is always indexed under one term. Done consistently, controlled vocabulary indexing gives a collection reliable, predictable subject access that free-text search alone cannot guarantee.
