The basic entity in muscat is the Source class, which describes a single source. The Marc21 data is stored directly in the database, and is parsed to a Marc object with holding MarcNodes recursively. A MarcNode is a field at the first level of recursion and a subfield at the second level. Relevant information (such as author name) is also extracted from the Marc record and stored in the same database row. A the same time, a Source is put in relation with the authority data, or foreign classes, stored directly in the database. The foreign classes representing data are:

* People (Contributors)
* Libraries
* Institutions
* StandardTerms
* StandardTitles
* LiturgicalFeasts
* Catalogues
* Places
* Institutions

This way all the basic information related to a Source is always available on the database. Marc21 records and these classes are automatically kept in sync, using ids to relate the various entities.
