$d - Generation date

Date on which the linked field was generated. This also serves as the beginning of the period of validity. Date is recorded in the format yyyymmdd in accordance with ISO 8601, Representation of Dates and Times.

$q - Generation agency

MARC organization code of the institution using the process/activity to generate the linked field.

Code from: MARC Code List for Organizations.

$u - Uniform Resource Identifier

Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), for example a URL or URN, which identifies the process used to produce the data contained in the field to which 883 is linked. The URI can lead to a textual or structured description of the process, or the URL that was used to generate the linked field's content can be provided directly, i.e., a URL invoking a web service or conveying an API call.
