FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE

Tracing for a cross reference from an invalid classification number.

Used for a valid or partially valid classification number (008/08, Classification validity, code a, b or c) record to trace a reference from an invalid to a valid number. When a 453 number tracing field cannot adequately convey necessary information about an invalid classification number, a separate record may be created for the invalid number (008/08 (Classification validity), code d) containing field 253 (Complex See Reference). In such instances, a 453 number tracing field may also be included in the valid or partially valid classification number record in the record for the valid number if desired. A tracing for a valid classification number that is invalid only for a particular topic is contained in field 553 (Valid Number Tracing). The content designators used in the classification number and caption portions of field 453 are the same as those defined for fields 153 (Classification Number) and 553 (Valid Number Tracing).


GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS

Guidelines for applying these content designators, including indicators, scheme-specific conventions and input conventions are given in the X53 Classification Numbers-General Information section. The guidelines for applying tracing subfield codes $i (Reference instruction phrase), $t (Topic) and $w (Control subfield), are given in the Tracing and Reference Fields-General Information section.
