Other Functions of Corporate Bodies
A corporate body may have responsibilities for a serial that does not qualify as the authorized access point like issuing body, commercial publisher (bodies primarily in the business of publishing), or sponsoring body. The cataloger sometimes must discern bodies that are publishers from others whose functions are different or unknown, based on information from inside or outside the publication and on general knowledge of publications.
