Tracing and linking subfields
|
Content designators identify the subelements occurring in chronological subdivision headings constructed according to generally accepted thesaurus-building conventions (e.g., Library of Congress Subject Headings, Medical Subject Headings). A chronological subdivision is used as a subdivision portion of an extended subject or index term access field in bibliographic records. A chronological term that is used as the lead element of an established heading record is contained in a 150 (Heading-Topical Term) field.
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 482 and 582) and the 7XX Heading Linking Entries-General Information section (for field 782).
First Indicator - Undefined
Undefined and contains a blank (#).
Second Indicator
In fields 182, 482, and 582, the second indicator position is undefined and contains a blank (#). For field 782, the second indicator position contains one of the values described in the 7XX Heading Linking Entries-General Information section.

Guidelines for using subfield $i in fields 482 and 582 are provided in the Tracings and References-General Information section. Guidelines for using subfield $i in field 782 are provided in the 7XX Heading Linking Entries-General Information section.

Punctuation - Punctuation of the subelements of a heading is generally dictated by subject heading system/thesaurus rules. These input conventions clarify MARC punctuation practices. An X82 field does not end with a mark of punctuation unless the field ends with an abbreviation, an initialism, or data that ends with a mark of punctuation.
