GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS

CHARACTER POSITIONS

00 - Category of material
r - Remote-sensing image
One-character alphabetic code that indicates the category of material to which the item belongs is remote-sensing image which is defined as an image produced by a recording device that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object under study. This may be a map or other image that is obtained through various remote sensing devices such as cameras, computers, lasers, radio frequency receivers, radar systems, sonar, seismographs, gravimeters, magnetometers, and scintillation counters. When the image has cartographic or bibliographic information added, it is referred to as a remote-sensing map. A fill character (|) is not allowed in this position.

01 - Specific material designation
Special class of material, usually the class of physical object, to which an item belongs..

| - No attempt to code

02 - Undefined
Contains blank (#) or a fill character (|).
