FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE
When field 007/00 contains code a, it contains special coded
information about the physical characteristics of cartographic
material other than a globe.
GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
■ CHARACTER POSITIONS
00 - Category of material
a - Map
One-character alphabetic code that indicates the category
of material to which the item belongs is
map. Code a is used for all cartographic
materials except globes. Code a is used when 008/25 (Type
of cartographic material) contains code a, b, c, or e. A
fill character (|) is not allowed in this position.
01 - Specific material designation
Special class of cartographic material to which the item
belongs.
Usually the class of physical object, e.g., a diagram.
d - Atlas
Atlases generally contain maps, related text, and other
cartographic information.
g - Diagram
Map characterized by simplified, or schematic,
representation.
Diagrams are graphic representations of numerical data, or
of the course or results of an action or process.
j - Map
Two-dimensional map.
Defined as a representation normally to scale and on a flat
medium, of a selection of material or abstract features on,
or in relation to, the surface of the earth or of another
celestial body.
k - Profile
Scale representation of the intersection of a vertical
surface (which may or may not be a plane) with the surface
of the ground or with that of a conceptual
three-dimensional model of phenomena having continuous
distribution (e.g., rainfall).
q - Model
Three-dimensional representation of a real object.
Object may be the exact size of the original or to scale.
r - Remote-sensing image
Image produced by a recording device that is not in
physical or intimate contact with the object under study.
s - Section
Scaled representation of a vertical surface (commonly a
plane) displaying both the the intersection profile or some
conceptual model, and the underlying structures, e.g.,
geological section.
u - Unspecified
y - View
Perspective representation of the landscape shown as if it
were projected onto an oblique plane.
z - Other
None of the other codes is appropriate.
| - No attempt to code
02 - Undefined
Contains a blank (#) or a fill character (|).
03 - Color
Whether the item is in one color or multicolored.
a - One color
c - Multicolored
| - No attempt to code
04 - Physical medium
Material out of which the cartographic item is made.
a - Paper
Any kind of cellulose-based paper.
b - Wood
Material which is based on wood particles or fibers may
or may not be considered wood. Consider particle board
wood.
c - Stone
d - Metal
e - Synthetic
Man-made substances other than
textiles, plastic, and vinyl.
f - Skin
Excludes leather, parchment, and
vellum.
Synthetic materials that are made to resemble animal skin
are coded as synthetic.
g - Textiles
Used for all fabrics, whether made from natural or
synthetic fibers.
i - Plastic
j - Glass
l - Vinyl
n - Vellum
Fine-grained unsplit lambskin, kidskin, or calfskin
prepared especially for writing or drawing on.
p - Plaster
Includes mixtures of ground solids and plaster.
q - Flexible base photographic, positive
Material is a flexible base photographic medium designed
to render a positive image.
r - Flexible base photographic, negative
Material is a flexible base photographic medium designed
to render a negative image.
s - Non-flexible base photographic,
positive
Material is a non-flexible base photographic medium
designed to render a positive image.
t - Non-flexible base photographic,
negative
Material is a non-flexible base photographic medium
designed to render a negative image.
u - Unknown
v - Leather
Animal skin dressed for use.
w - Parchment
Skin of a sheep or goat prepared for writing on.
y - Other photographic medium
Photographic medium other than those covered by one of
the more specific codes q, r, s, and t.
z - Other
Physical medium for which none of the other codes is
appropriate.
| - No attempt to code
05 - Type of reproduction
Whether the cartographic item is a facsimile or other type
of reproduction.
f - Facsimile
Facsimile which resembles the original in all aspects
possible, but it is not the original.
n - Not applicable
Item is not a reproduction.
u - Unknown
Type of reproduction is not known.
z - Other
Type of reproduction for which none of the other codes is
applicable.
| - No attempt to code
06 - Production/reproduction details
Photographic technique used to produce the cartographic
item.
a - Photocopy, blueline print
Has a blueline image on a white background and is
reproduced by the whiteprint process.
Bluelines are made from vellum, film positives, or any
translucent or transparent original on which an image has
been made.
b - Photocopy
c - Pre-production
Pre-production (proof) copy intended for review.
d - Film
Film copy of the original.
u - Unknown
Production/reproduction details are not known.
z - Other
Production/reproduction details for which none of the
other codes is appropriate.
| - No attempt to code
07 - Positive/negative aspect
Positive/negative aspect of the photocopy or film of the
cartographic item.
This characteristic is also referred to as polarity.
a - Positive
Polarity is positive, i.e., lines and characters are dark
on light background.
b - Negative
Polarity is negative, i.e., lines and characters are
light on dark background.
m - Mixed polarity
Mixture of positive and negative images.
n - Not applicable
Item is not a photocopy or film.
| - No attempt to code
