- This hierarchical authority replaces the "Responsible Department" list
- This authority still needs a lot of thought.
- This authority relies on implicit inheritance (if an object is assigned to "Photographic prints", it is understood to also be assigned to "Media (film and recordings)".
- This authority may need to be broken down into multiple authorities.
