FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE
When field 007/00 contains code a, it contains special coded information about the
physical characteristics of cartographic material other than a globe.
GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
■ CHARACTER POSITIONS
00 - Category of material a - Map One-character alphabetic code that indicates the category of material to which
the item belongs is map. Code a is used for all cartographic
materials except globes. Code a is used when 008/25 (Type of cartographic
material) contains code a, b, c, or e. A fill character (|) is not allowed in
this position.
01 - Specific material designation Special class of cartographic material to which the item belongs.
Usually the class of physical object, e.g., a diagram.
d - Atlas Atlases generally contain maps, related text, and other cartographic
information.
g - Diagram Map characterized by simplified, or schematic, representation.
Diagrams are graphic representations of numerical data, or of the course or
results of an action or process.
j - Map Two-dimensional map.
Defined as a representation normally to scale and on a flat medium, of a
selection of material or abstract features on, or in relation to, the surface
of the earth or of another celestial body.
k - Profile Scale representation of the intersection of a vertical surface (which may or
may not be a plane) with the surface of the ground or with that of a conceptual
three-dimensional model of phenomena having continuous distribution (e.g.,
rainfall).
q - Model Three-dimensional representation of a real object.
Object may be the exact size of the original or to scale.
r - Remote-sensing image Image produced by a recording device that is not in physical or intimate
contact with the object under study.
s - Section Scaled representation of a vertical surface (commonly a plane) displaying both
the the intersection profile or some conceptual model, and the underlying
structures, e.g., geological section.
u - Unspecified
y - View Perspective representation of the landscape shown as if it were projected onto
an oblique plane.
z - Other None of the other codes is appropriate.
| - No attempt to code
02 - Undefined
Contains a blank (#) or a fill character (|).
03 - Color Whether the item is in one color or multicolored.
a - One color
c - Multicolored
| - No attempt to code
04 - Physical medium Material out of which the cartographic item is made.
a - Paper Any kind of cellulose-based paper.
b - Wood Material which is based on wood particles or fibers may or may not be
considered wood. Consider particle board wood.
c - Stone
d - Metal
e - Synthetic All man-made substances other than textiles.
Synthetics include plastic, vinyl, and transparent polyester film.
f - Skin Synthetic materials which are made to resemble animal skin are coded as
synthetic.
g - Textiles Used for all fabrics, whether made from natural or synthetic fibers.
j - Glass
p - Plaster Includes mixtures of ground solids and plaster.
q - Flexible base photographic, positive Material is a flexible base photographic medium designed to render a positive
image.
r - Flexible base photographic, negative Material is a flexible base photographic medium designed to render a negative
image.
s - Non-flexible base photographic, positive Material is a non-flexible base photographic medium designed to render a
positive image.
t - Non-flexible base photographic, negative Material is a non-flexible base photographic medium designed to render a
negative image.
u - Unknown
y - Other photographic medium Photographic medium other than those covered by one of the more specific codes
q, r, s, and t.
z - Other Physical medium for which none of the other codes is appropriate.
| - No attempt to code
05 - Type of reproduction Whether the cartographic item is a facsimile or other type of reproduction.
f - Facsimile Facsimile which resembles the original in all aspects possible, but it is not
the original.
n - Not applicable Item is not a reproduction.
u - Unknown Type of reproduction is not known.
z - Other Type of reproduction for which none of the other codes is applicable.
| - No attempt to code
06 - Production/reproduction details Photographic technique used to produce the cartographic item.
a - Photocopy, blueline print Has a blueline image on a white background and is reproduced by the whiteprint
process.
Bluelines are made from vellum, film positives, or any translucent or
transparent original on which an image has been made.
b - Photocopy
c - Pre-production Pre-production (proof) copy intended for review.
d - Film Film copy of the original.
u - Unknown Production/reproduction details are not known.
z - Other Production/reproduction details for which none of the other codes is
appropriate.
| - No attempt to code
07 - Positive/negative aspect Positive/negative aspect of the photocopy or film of the cartographic item.
This characteristic is also referred to as polarity.
a - Positive Polarity is positive, i.e., lines and characters are dark on light
background.
b - Negative Polarity is negative, i.e., lines and characters are light on dark
background.
m - Mixed polarity Mixture of positive and negative images.
n - Not applicable Item is not a photocopy or film.
| - No attempt to code

INPUT CONVENTIONS
Field length - For the category of material map, field 007 should consist of eight
character positions.
CONTENT DESIGNATOR HISTORY
007/01 - Specific material designation [CAN/MARC only]In 1997, the following values were made obsolete: a (Aerial chart); b (Aerial
remote-sensing image);c (Anamorphic map); e (Celestial chart); f (Chart); h
(Hydrographic chart); i (Imaginative map); j (Orthophoto); m (Photo mosaic
(controlled)); n (Photo mosaic (uncontrolled)); o (Photomap); p (Plan); t (Space
remote-sensing image); v (Terrestrial remote-sensing image); w (Topographical
