You may need some additional parameters, like what tags to normalize, since you may want to do NACO normalization on fields other than the 1XX. For example, I currently do NACO normalization on the 1XX, 4XX, 5XX and 7XX in my Authority records. By doing that I can quickly build a hash that allows me to find the broader, narrower, related and use-for references for a record in the entire Authority file. Andy.
