Explanatory text and the headings referred to when the linking relationship between headings from different subject heading systems or thesauri cannot be adequately conveyed by fields 700-785. No subelements of the heading referred to are separately subfield coded. Adjacent headings referred to may be contained in a single subfield $a. The heading referred to may be an established heading or a subject subdivision that is not equivalent to but is related to the heading in the 1XX field.
For example, the heading referred to may be restricted to being used as a subdivision in the related subject heading system/thesaurus, or, the related subject heading system/thesaurus may require the use of more than one heading to equal the concept expressed by the heading in the 1XX field of the record.
A link display may be generated from the 1XX field and field 788 in a record. The 1XX field contains the heading referred from. Field 788 contains the explanatory text for the reference and the other headings referred to. Subfield $w/0 in any related 700-785 field(s) in the record contains code b (Link not displayed, field 788 used).
