FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Information about how a synthesized number or a portion of a synthesized number was built. It traces the different components of a synthesized number, showing the different portions of the number and where the add instructions are given. If a number was built using two or more instructions, a separate field 765 is given for each instruction.

The information in this field is primarily intended to serve as a tracing of how classification numbers are synthesized to assist classifiers. It facilitates computer manipulation of synthesized numbers, both for validation that the numbers have been synthesized correctly and for index-building, to allow searching every use of a specific number.

A synthesized number in field 153 (Classification Number) may be identified by code b in 008/12 (Synthesized number indication). Synthesized numbers may also appear in other fields.


GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS

INDICATORS

First Indicator - Field of number analyzed
Field containing the number being analyzed by the 765 field. This indicator facilitates different indexing of field 765 for public users trying to locate books on topics of interest and for classifiers and maintainers of the database.
0 - 153 field
Number analyzed is located in field 153 (Classification Number) of the record.
1 - Other field
Number analyzed is located in a field other than field 153 of the record. Often the number is in field 684 (Auxiliary Instruction Note) or field 761 (Add or Divide Like Instruction).
Second Indicator - Undefined
Undefined and contains a blank (#).

SUBFIELD CODES

$a - Number where instructions are found-single number or beginning number of span
$b - Base number
Base classification number to which one or more other numbers are added. In many instances it may be the same as subfield $a. When two or more additions are used to build one number, the base number for the second and following 765 fields is the number resulting from the immediately preceding addition.
$c - Classification number--ending number of span
$f - Facet designator
Extra character(s) to be added to classification numbers that indicate facets.
$r - Root number
Initial digits of the pattern number or span when these digits are not added. If this subfield is present, subfield $s or $t must also be present to specify the digits that are added.
$s - Digits added from classification number in schedule or external table
Digits that have been added from a classification number in a schedule or external table to make up the synthesized number.
$t - Digits added from internal subarrangement or add table
Digits that have been added from an internal subarrangement or add table to make up the synthesized number.
$u - Number being analyzed
Repeated when the same 765 field is applicable to more than one number appearing in the same record. If the number being analyzed is in field 153 (Classification Number), indicated by value 0 in the first indicator, this subfield need not be used unless both numbers in a classification number span are being analyzed.
$v - Number in internal subarrangement or add table where instructions are found
Number (single number or beginning number of span) in an internal subarrangement or add table under which add instructions are found.
$w - Table identification-Internal subarrangement or add table
Classification number (single number or beginning number of span) under which an internal subarrangement or add table is found.
$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, succeeding integers are used for any following add tables found at that number.
$z - Table identification
Identifies the table used in building a number. For a classification number span, subfield $z is given only once, before the first number.
$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 for this field is for the Dewey Decimal Classification, which is based on the concept of number building. Field 765 is repeated each time an addition is made to the base number.
Order of subfields - Base number (subfield $b) is always given first, followed by the location of add instructions (subfields $a and $c). When there are multiple additions to a synthesized number, a cumulative base number (the number which resulted from the previous addition) is used in subfield $b of the following 765 field. This field includes instructions about how many zeros to add for standard subdivisions. In these cases, the zeros are recorded in subfield $f (Facet designator).
