FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Information about the history of the use and meaning of a classification number that is contained either in field 153 (Classification Number) unless a 453 (Invalid Number Tracing) or 553 (Valid Number Tracing) field contains code a (History reference, field 685 used) in control subfield $w/3 (History reference).

If the tracing contains code a in subfield $w/3, the history reference refers to the number in that field. If there are two tracings in the record both with code a in subfield $w/3, the number in subfield $a or $b identifies to which tracing the history note refers. The information in this field is intended primarily for computer processing or to guide classifiers and is often not written in a form adequate for public user display.

SCHEME-SPECIFIC CONVENTIONS

Dewey Decimal Classification - Formerly notes are the other ends of relocation notes. In the printed version they are embedded in captions or in other notes rather than being a separate note.

Subfield $d (Date of implementation of authoritative-agency) and subfield $2 (Edition number) are applicable only to the standard full English language edition of the DDC.

Examples of the use of subfield $f (Title and publication date) are the DC&: Decimal Classification Additions, Notes and Decisions, small schedules that are issued separately in advance of the publication of a new edition, or on the “New and Changed Entries” page of the DDC news and events website.
