MARC 21 Classification - Concise
2007
This is an ARCHIVED VERSION of the
2007 electronic edition of the MARC 21 Concise
Formats. Please see loc.gov/marc/concise/
for the most up-to-date version of the electronic MARC 21
Concise Formats.
Classification numbers that are constructed according to the
classification scheme that is identified in field 084
(Classification Scheme and Edition). This field may contain a
single classification number (008/07, Type of number, code a)
or a span of classification numbers (008/07, code b or c) from
a schedule (008/06, Kind of record, code a) or from a table
(008/06, code b) and its associated caption (subfield $j) and
caption hierarchy (subfields $h and $k). The subject context of
the classification number is indicated by the preceding
hierarchy captions contained in repeatable subfields $h and $k.
(Field 153 must contain at least one subfield $a and one
subfield $j.)

Subfield Codes
$a - Classification number--single number or beginning number
of span (R)
$c - Classification number--ending number of span (R)
$h - Caption hierarchy (R)
Caption for each higher level of the caption hierarchy that
precedes the caption for a classification number or span
that is contained in subfield $j (Caption). The caption at
the highest level is recorded in the first subfield $h. The
caption at each successive level is recorded in sequence in
separate subfields $h up to and including the level that
precedes the caption contained in subfield $j. Captions for
all levels of the hierarchy are recorded in the field. If
the caption in subfield $j is the highest level of the
hierarchy, subfield $h is not used. (However, some systems
may wish to omit some levels of the hierarchy for display
purposes.) A caption hierarchy for classification numbers
in a summary number span in the Dewey Decimal
Classification is contained in subfield $k (Summary
number span caption hierarchy).
$j - Caption (NR)
Lowest caption in the caption hierarchy for a
classification number or span.
$k - Summary number span caption hierarchy (R)
Caption at a level higher than the last for a summary
number span when the classification scheme identified in
field 084 (Classification Scheme and Edition) is the
Dewey Decimal Classification. Caption hierarchies
for single classification numbers, defined numbers spans,
or other types of summary number spans are contained in
subfield $h. The last caption in the caption hierarchy for
a summary number span in field 153 (008/07, Type of number,
code c for summary number span) is recorded in subfield $j.
$z - Table identification (NR)
Identification of the table to which the classification
number belongs. The identification of the table by which a
classification number or span is further subarranged is
contained in field 762 (Table Identification). Subfield $z
is input before the first element of the classification
number in the first subfield $a.
$8 - Field link and sequence number (R)
