MARC 21 Concise Authority: Heading Fields (1XX)
This is an ARCHIVED VERSION of the 2001 electronic
edition of the MARC 21 Concise Formats. Please see
www.loc.gov/marc/concise/ for
the most up-to-date version of the electronic MARC 21 Concise Formats.
Fields 100-185 contain names, uniform titles, and terms used in headings or
subdivisions to headings. They are usually constructed according to generally
accepted cataloging and thesaurus-building rules. In a MARC authority record,
a heading is the content of a 1XX, 4XX, or 5XX field that documents
the form of name, title, or term used for indexing and retrieval or organizational
purposes in a file. The content designation of the subelements of each type
of heading is consistent across the 1XX heading and 4XX/5XX tracing fields.
Information for Translators and Other Users
Items highlighted in red indicate changes made
after the 2000 edition of the MARC 21 Concise Formats was published and
are included in the 2001 printed edition of the MARC 21 Concise Formats.
Two types of headings are defined in the authorities
format:
- Established heading - The authoritative form of a heading that is
used as a main entry (1XX), added entry (700-730), or series added entry (440
or 800-830), or as the lead element in a subject access (600-651, 654-657)
field in bibliographic records. In authority records, established headings
are used in fields 100-155 (headings) and fields 500-555 (tracings) for established
heading (008/09, Kind of record, code a or f) and subdivision (008/09, Kind
of record, code d) records.
- Unestablished heading - A heading that is not authorized
for use in other MARC records as the lead element of a main, added, series,
or subject access field. The unestablished heading may be a variant to the
established form, a heading used only for authority file organizational purposes,
or an incomplete piece of an established heading. This heading is not used
in bibliographic records. In established heading records an unestablished
heading may be used in a 4XX (tracing) field. In reference, subdivision, reference
and subdivision, and node label records, the 1XX (heading) field contains
an unestablished heading.
Headings may be names, name/title combinations, uniform titles, topical
terms, genre/form terms, subdivisions, extended subject headings
or node labels.
- Name heading - A heading that is a personal, corporate, meeting,
or jurisdiction (including geographic) name.
- Name/title heading - A heading consisting of both a name and a title
portion. The name portion may be a personal, corporate, meeting, or jurisdiction
name. The title portion may be a uniform or conventional title, a title page
title of a work, or a series title.
- Uniform title heading - A heading consisting of a uniform or conventional
title, a title page title, or a series title that is not entered under a personal,
corporate, meeting, or jurisdiction name in a name/title heading construction.
- Topical term heading - A heading consisting of a topical subject
term.
- Genre/form term heading - A heading consisting of a genre/form subject
term.
- Subdivision heading - A heading consisting of a general (topical
or language), form, geographic, or chronological subject subdivision term.
An extended subdivision heading contains more than one subject subdivision
term (subfields $v, $x, $y, and $z).
- Extended subject heading - A name, name/title, uniform title, topical
term or genre/form term heading that includes one or more general, form, geographic,
or chronological subject subdivision terms (subfield $v, $x, $y, or $z).
- Node label heading - A heading consisting of a term used in the systematic
section of a thesaurus to indicate the logical basis on which a category is
divided. The dash (--) that precedes a subject subdivision is not carried
in the MARC record; it may be generated based on the presence of subfields
$v, $x, $y, or $z.
Heading Usage in Authority Records
Only the 1XX field in established heading records may be used as access points
in bibliographic records. Name, name/title, and uniform title headings may be
used as main or added entries (008/14, code a); name, name/title,
uniform title, topical term, genre/form, and extended subject headings may be
used as subject added entries (008/15, code a), and name/title
and uniform title headings may be used as series added entries
(008/16, code a). Subdivision headings may be used only in extended subject heading
added entries.
Heading Usage in Authority Structures
A heading may be categorized as being suitable for either a name
or a subject authority structure. Headings that are formulated
using descriptive cataloging conventions (008/10) are suitable for a name
authority structure. These headings encompass name, name/title, and uniform
title headings in established heading and established heading and subdivision
records and unestablished forms of these types of headings in reference records.
Certain note and tracing and reference fields are used only in records for headings
suitable for name authority structures.
Headings that are formulated using subject heading system
/thesaurus building conventions (008/11) are suitable for a
subject authority structure. These
headings encompass names, name/title combinations, uniform
titles, topical terms, and genre/form headings (and
extended subject headings using these types of headings)
in established heading and established heading and
subdivision records. Unestablished forms of these
types of headings are used in reference and, reference and
subdivision records. Unestablished headings are also used
in subdivision and node label records. Certain note
and tracing and reference fields in the format are used
only in records for headings suitable for subject
authority structures.Go to top of document
