Content designators identify the subelements occurring in meeting name headings constructed according to generally accepted cataloging and thesaurus-building rules (e.g, Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2), Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)). A named meeting that is entered under a corporate name is contained in the X10 fields. Corporate names that include such words as conference or congress are also contained in the X10 fields. For example, the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, a professional group, is a corporate name.
Only generally-applicable content designators are described in full in this section. A small number of content designators with field-specific instructions are described in the Tracings and References--General Information section (for field 411 and 511) and the 7XX Heading Linking Entries--General Information section (for field 711).

Values were: 0-9 (Number of nonfiling characters present).
In 1980, the definition of subfield $n was expanded to include meeting numbers and subfield $b was made obsolete. Records created before this change may contain the number of the meeting in subfield $b.
In 2014, subfield $c was made repeatable.
Subfield $d was redefined and made repeatable.
In 2014, subfield $g was made repeatable.
Subfield $s was made repeatable.
Subfield $4 was renamed and redescribed to allow for the recording of relationship URIs in addition to MARC and non-MARC codes.
