‡c Facet/hierarchy designation A designation identifying the facet/hierarchy designation for each term found in subfields ‡ a and ‡ b. The designations and their associated facets/hierarchies are found in the thesaurus identified in subfield ‡ 2. Data in subfield ‡ c always precedes the data to which it is associated.
654 ‡ c d ‡ b blue ‡ c f ‡ b Baroque ‡ c t ‡ a pitchers. ‡ 2 aat

‡e Relator term Contains the term that indicates the relationship between the faceted topical term used as a subject added entry and the described materials. See the MARC Code Lists for Relators, Sources, Descriptive Conventions ( http://www.loc.gov/marc/relators/relahome.html).
‡v Form subdivision A specific kind or genre of material defined by the thesaurus being used. Use only when a form subject subdivision is added to a faceted topical term. Use subfield ‡v also for form terms when they function as indicated above. Use subfield ‡x if the terms function as general subdivisions. A form subdivision in subfield ‡v is generally the last subfield in the field. Repeat subfield ‡v if you use more than one form subdivision.
‡y Chronological subdivision A subject subdivision that represents a period of time. Use only when a chronological subject subdivision is added to a main term.

‡0 Authority record control number Subfield ‡0 (zero) contains the system control number of the related authority record or a standard identifier such as an International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). The control number or identifier is preceded by the appropriate MARC Organization code (for a related authority record) or the Standard Identifier source code (for a standard identifier scheme), enclosed in parentheses. See MARC Code List for Organizations ( http://www.loc.gov/marc/organizations/orgshome.html) for a listing of organization codes and Standard Identifier Source Codes ( http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/standard-identifier.html) for code systems for standard identifiers. Subfield ‡0 is repeatable for different control numbers or identifiers.

Do not input subfield ‡0 in master records, instead use the control headings function. Local authority identifiers may be entered in subfield ‡0 locally, but should not be added to master records in WorldCat.
