MARC Code List: PART V: Format Sources


Introduction

Format Sources contains a list of machine-readable cataloging record formats and their associated codes. The purpose of this list is to provide codes for the identification of the source format for machine-readable data when records are converted, particularly when data elements are not recognized and must be moved to generic fields (e.g., MARC 886) in the target format. It is also used to identify variant implementations of a format.

Arrangement of the List

Entries in the list are arranged in alphabetical order by the code and consist of the source code followed by the bibliographic citation for the source work.

Code Structure

The code assigned to a format is based on its title (e.g., unimarc, based on the title: UNIMARC Manual). Source codes consist of a maximum of eight lowercase alphabetic characters.

The code may be followed by the edition or date of publication of the source work. The code is separated from the edition or date by a slash (/). Omission of the year or edition will imply that the assigning institution used the most recent edition of the source work available. For example:

ukmarc/1990
UK MARC manual, 3rd edition, published in 1990.

A special non-specific source code has been assigned for use in field 886. The code local, meaning "locally defined", should be used whenever a data element from a local (unpublished) MARC format cannot be mapped to a standard MARC field other than field 886.
