C OCLC Authority Record Format

Appendix overview

Appendix C describes the fixed field element mnemonic labels and codes, and variable field tag groups, mnemonic labels, and subfields.

C.1 OCLC Authority Records

Authority records

An authority record is a collection of information about one name, uniform title, or topical term heading. Each authority record contains the established form of the heading, see from references, see also from references, and notes. The record also contains coded data that describes characteristics of the record.

Records have one fixed field element area that contains coded information from the MARC 21 Leader and 008 field. Records have many variable fields that usually contain textual information. The following table describes the record and field size limits.

Item	Limit
Record size	12,000
Field size	9,999
Number of variable fields in one record	90

All records in this appendix are shown as they appear in CatME^TM.

Mnemonic display

The CatME mnemonic authority record display shows MARC21 fixed field elements and content designators.

CatME: mnemonic authority record display

The mnemonic display is the CatME default format.

The mnemonic display is Passport's default format for Cataloging Search, and for all Interlibrary Loan and WorldCat® authorization modes. All other modes use the tagged display.

Tagged display

The tagged CatME authority record display uses numeric tags only.

CatME: tagged authority record display

C.2 Fixed Field Mnemonic Labels

Passport mnemonic fixed field positions

This table shows the position of the labels in the fixed field of a Passport mnemonic display.

Line	Column
	1	2	3	4
1	Type of Record	In-process note	[blank column]
2	OCLC ARN	Status of record		Data entered in file
3	[blank line]
4	Heading use	Status of heading		Status of references
5	Subject heading system	Geographic subdivision instructions
6	Series type	Series numbering information

The system supplies labels when the data exists. Nothing appears unless the codes are present. For example, the last line (line 6) contains information only when the heading represents a series.

C.4 Variable Field Tag Groups and Mnemonic Labels

Each variable field may have between 1 and 9,999 characters. Variable fields have three parts:

Three-digit codes called tags
Two single-digit indicators
One or more subfields

Tag groups

The system groups variable fields by MARC 21 tags. Tags that begin with the same digit have similar functions. In the following list, xx stands for any numeric value (00–99).

Tag group	Function
0xx	Call numbers, control numbers
1xx	Established headings
260	Complex see reference (subject)
360	Complex see also reference (subject)
4xx	See from reference
5xx	See also from reference
6xx	Series treatment information, notes
7xx	Heading linking entries
856	Electronic location and access
9xx	Locally defined headings

Indicators

Indicators supply data for indexing and other system functions. Numbers in the indicator positions have assigned meanings, and in some fields blank ( ) is meaningful. Variable field indicators may have the following combinations:

A number in both positions
A number in one position and a blank space in the other
Two blank spaces

Subfields

Subfields are the smallest logical unit of data in a variable field. Subfield codes (letters or numbers) identify subfields and are preceded by subfield delimiters (‡). Subfields usually have textual descriptions of the authority information, but some contain coded information.

Whenever subfield ‡a is the first subfield, both the delimiter and subfield code are implicit and do not display.

Segmented variable fields

In Passport, when the content of a field exceeds approximately 600 characters, the system displays the field in segments. Each segment consists of:

A line number
A segment number
A tag
Indicators
Data

The line number, tag, and indicators are the same for each segment of the continued field. The system displays segment numbers in brackets after the line number.

Examples:
6 [1] 665 The name of the Baptist . . . American Baptist Education ¶
6 [2] 665 Society. ‡a Works by the Board of Education of the . . . . .

Passport mnemonic vs tagged display

In a Passport mnemonic display, the system supplies some information in square brackets following the text of variable fields. For example, the system displays the established heading for a personal name as follows:

Mnemonic display

100 1 Sayers, Dorothy L. ‡q (Dorothy Leigh), ‡d 1893–1957. [AACR2]

Tagged display

100 1 Sayers, Dorothy L. ‡q (Dorothy Leigh), ‡d 1893–1957.

Heading and tracing information. Some records contain information about the heading or about the relationship between the heading (1xx field) and the tracings (4xx and 5xx fields). Passport mnemonic displays supply this information in brackets. Tagged displays use codes. For example, the system displays a tracing showing the form of the heading for Dorothy Sayers established under earlier cataloging rules as follows:

Mnemonic display

400 10 Sayers, Dorothy Leigh, ‡d 1893–1957 [OLD CATALOG HEADING] ¶

Tagged display

400 10 Sayers, Dorothy Leigh, ‡d 1893–1957 ‡w nna

System-generated labels. The table below lists labels that the system generates for mnemonic displays at the end of a heading or reference field. The system supplies bracketed information if the codes exist in the fixed field or subfield ‡w.

Label Generated	Fixed Field Element or ‡w Code
Following Headings (1xx Fields)
[AACR1]	Rules: b
[AACR2]	Rules: c
[COMPATIBLE]	Rules: d
[EARLIER RULES]	Rules: a
Following Tracings (4xx, 5xx Fields)
[ACRONYM]	‡w, position 1, code d
[BROADER TERM]	‡w, position 1, code g
[EARLIER ESTABLISHED FORM]	‡w, position 3, code e
[EARLIER HEADING]	‡w, position 1, code a
[LATER HEADING]	‡w, position 1, code b
[MUSICAL COMP]	‡w, position 1, code f
[NARROWER TERM]	‡w, position 1, code h
[OLD CATALOG HEADING]	‡w, position 3, code a
[Reference instruction phrase]	‡w, position 1, code i
[REFERENCE: NAMES]	‡w, position 2, code a
[REFERENCE: NAME/SERIES]	‡w, position 2, code e
[REFERENCE: NAME/SUBJECT]	‡w, position 2, code d
[REFERENCE: NAME/SUBJECT/SERIES]	‡w, position 2, code g
[REFERENCE: SERIES]	‡w, position 2, code c
[REFERENCE: SUBJECTS]	‡w, position 2, code b
[REFERENCE: SUBJECT/SERIES]	‡w, position 2, code f

Control subfield ‡w

Subfield ‡w appears only in tagged displays and only in applicable 4xx, 5xx, and 7xx fields.

4xx and 5xx fields. Control subfield ‡w in the 4xx and 5xx fields contains four character positions (designated as ‡w/0, ‡w/1, etc). It provides information about a specific relationship between a heading (1xx field) and tracing (4xx or 5xx field).

Use to indicate whether special instructions apply to the display of the heading in the 4xx or 5xx field.
Use to indicate whether a tracing is restricted to the reference structure of a particular type of authority.
Each character position has a list of coded values that pertain to it. See the following table.

The code definitions are position-dependent. If you code any of character positions 2-4 with a meaningful value [that is, a value other than n (not applicable)], you must code all the preceding positions with n as a placeholder. Succeeding positions need not be coded. If all four positions contain n, subfield ‡w does not appear.

Example:

400 10 Sayers, Dorothy Leigh, ‡d 1893–1957 ‡w nna

The first two positions are coded n because the third position requires code a. The field contains a form of Sayers' name established under earlier cataloging rules. No code is needed in the fourth position because it does not apply to this tracing.

Position	Code	Description
1 (w/0)		Special Relationship • Specifies the relationship between the tracing and the heading.
	a	Earlier heading
	b	Later heading
	d	Acronym
	f	Musical composition
	g	Broader term
	h	Narrower term
	i	Reference instruction phrase in subfield ‡i
	n	Not applicable

	c	Series reference structure only
	d	Name and subject reference structures
	e	Name and series reference structures
	f	Subject and series reference structures
	g	Name, subject, and series reference structures
	n	Not applicable
3 (w/2)		Earlier Form of Heading • Indicates whether the 4xx field is an earlier form of the heading established in the relevant national authority file or in an authority file other than the national authority file.
	a	Pre-AACR2 form of heading (national name authority file)
	e	Earlier established form of heading (national authority file)
	n	Not applicable. [Until all pre-1981 tracings have been evaluated, some 4xx fields carry earlier codes: b (AACR1), c (AACR2), or d (AACR2-compatible)]
	o	Earlier established form of heading (other authority file).
4 (w/3)		Reference Display • Enables the generation or surpression of a cross reference from a 4xx or 5xx tracing.
	a	Reference not displayed
	b	Reference not displayed, field 664 used
	c	Reference not displayed, field 663 used
	d	Reference not displayed, field 665 used
	n	Not applicable

7xx fields. Control subfield ‡w in the 7xx fields contains two character positions designated as ‡w/0 and ‡w/1.

Field w/0 controls the generation of a link display from a 700–785 field. Use subfield ‡w to suppress the display. The table below shows the values for Subfield ‡w/0.

Position	Code	Description
1		Link Display Code • Controls the surpression of a link display.
	a	Link not displayed
	b	Link not displayed, field 788 used
	c	Link not displayed, non-7xx field used
	n	Not applicable

Field w/1indicates whether heading replacement requires review. The table below shows the values for Subfield ‡w/1.

Position	Code	Description
1		Replacement Complexity Code • Indicates whether heading replacement requires review.
	a	Heading replacement does not require review
	b	Heading replacement requires review
	n	Not applicable
