GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS

Content designators identify the subelements occurring in chronological subdivision headings constructed according to generally accepted thesaurus-building conventions (e.g., Library of Congress Subject Headings, Medical Subject Headings). A chronological subdivision is used as a subdivision portion of an extended subject or index term access field in bibliographic records. A chronological term that is used as the lead element of an established heading record is contained in a 150 (Heading-Topical Term) field.

Only generally-applicable content designators are described in full in this section. A small number of content designators with field-specific instructions are described in the Tracings and References-General Information section (for field 482 and 582) and the 7XX Heading Linking Entries-General Information section (for field 782).

■ INDICATORS

First Indicator - Undefined

Undefined and contains a blank (#).

Second Indicator

In fields 182, 482, and 582, the second indicator position is undefined and contains a blank (#). For field 782, the second indicator position contains one of the values described in the 7XX Heading Linking Entries-General Information section.

■ SUBFIELD CODES

$i - Reference instruction phrase [482/582]

Reference instruction phrase other than those that may be system generated from the field tag or from the codes defined for subfield $w (Control subfield). Subfield $i is appropriate only in field 482 and 582. Guidelines for applying subfield $i are provided in the Tracings and References-General Information section.

$v - Form subdivision

Designates a specific kind or genre of material as defined by the thesaurus being used. Subfield $v is appropriate in an X82 field only when a form subject subdivision is added to a chronological subdivision to form an extended subdivision heading.


182	##$y1981-$vPeriodicals

$w - Control subfield [482/582/782]

Codes in one or more character positions defined to control the display of information and specify relationships, restrictions, and status. Subfield $w is appropriate only in field 482, 582, and 782. Character position definitions and guidelines for applying the codes defined for subfield $w in field 482 and 582 are provided in the Tracings and References-General Information section. Character position definitions and guidelines for field 782 are in the 7XX Heading Linking Entries-General Information section.

$x - General subdivision

Topical or language subdivision term. Subfield $x is appropriate in an X82 field only when a general subdivision is added to a chronological subdivision to form an extended subdivision heading.


182	##$y1981-$xFrench

$z - Geographic subdivision

Appropriate in an X82 field only when a geographic subdivision is added to a chronological subdivision to form an extended subdivision heading.

$0 - Record control number [582/782]

See description of this subfield in Appendix A: Control Subfields.

$2 - Source of heading or term [782]

Code that identifies the source of a heading or term when the second indicator position contains value 7. Subfield $2 is appropriate only in field 782. Guidelines for applying subfield $2 are provided in the 7XX Heading Linking Entries—General Information section.

$5 - Institution to which field applies [482/582/782]

See description of this subfield in Appendix A: Control Subfields.

$6 - Linkage

$8 - Field link and sequence number

See description of this subfield in Appendix A: Control Subfields.

INPUT CONVENTIONS

Punctuation - Punctuation of the subelements of a heading is generally dictated by subject heading system/thesaurus rules. These input conventions clarify MARC punctuation practices. An X82 field does not end with a mark of punctuation unless the field ends with an abbreviation, an initialism, or data that ends with a mark of punctuation.


182	##$yTo 221 B.C.
182	##$y1981-

Spacing - No spaces are used in initialisms.


182	##$y332-30 B.C.

One space is used between the final period of an abbreviated term and a word or numeral that follows.


182	##$yEarly church, ca. 30-600

Display Constant

-	[dash associated with the content of subfield $v, $x, $y, and $z]

Dash (-) that precedes a subject subdivision heading is not carried in the MARC record. It may be system generated as a display constant associated with the content of subfield $v, $x, $y, and $z.
