SUBFIELD CODES

$a - Classification number-single number or beginning number of span
674 ##$iSegment as shown in$a599.2$c599.8$i, e.g.,$a636.9205$i,$a636.92/9$i,$a636.935/6
$c - Classification number-ending number of span
674 ##$iSegment as shown in$a371.1$c371.8$i, e.g.,$a373.18235/2
$i - Explanatory text
Explains the segmentation instruction of the classification number. This subfield is repeated when other subfields are embedded in the explanatory text.
674 ##$iSegment as shown in Table 2
$y - Table sequence number for internal subarrangement or add table
Sequence number or other identifier for an internal classification subarrangement or add table. If the first or only add table found at a classification number is the number 1, and succeeding integers are used for any following add tables found at that number.
674 ##$iSegment notation with standard subdivisions as shown in Table 1, and segment notation$z3B$a1$c8$y1$a801$c808$iand$z3B$a1$c8$y1$a91$c99$iafter the$z3B$a1$c8$y1$a8$ior$z3B$a1$c8$y1$a9$i, e.g.,$z3B$a1$c8$y1$a8/032$i,$z3B$a1$c8$y1$a9/9282
$z - Table identification
Identification of the table to which the classification number in the note belongs. For a classification number span, subfield $z is given only once, before the first number.
674 ##$iSegment as shown in table under$z3B$a1$c8$i, e.g.,$z3B$a1008/032
$6 - Linkage
See the description of this subfield in Appendix A: Control Subfields.
$8 - Field link and sequence number
See the description of this subfield in Appendix A: Control Subfields.

SCHEME-SPECIFIC CONVENTIONS

Dewey Decimal Classification - Primary use of this field is for the Dewey Decimal Classification. Segmentation marks are used to show the end of the Abridged edition part of a Full edition number. In the past, segmentation marks were also used to show where Table 1 (Standard subdivision) notation was added to DDC numbers.
