LTS recommends that NRS users avoid defining multi-level Naming Authorities loaded with organizational meaning. In practice, this means defining a Naming Authority only at the tub level ("FHCL" rather than "FHCL.Widener"). Collections do move and organization-specific Naming Authorities  become confusing if the collections they refer to are moved from one library to another. LTS also recommends that Naming Authorities have no more than three levels: top-level, child, grandchild.
