First Indicator - Type of personal name entry element
Form of the entry element of the field. The values distinguish among forenames, surnames, and family names used as the entry element.
Heading begins with a forename or is a name consisting of words, phrases, initials, separate letters, or numerals that are formatted in direct order.

| 700 | 0#$aR. M. B. [Initials representing name are in direct order.] |
||||||||
| 100 | 0#$aHoward. [Uncertain whether name is a forename or surname.] |
||||||||
Heading is a surname formatted in inverted order (surname, forename) or is a name without forename(s) which is known to be a surname. If there is uncertainty that a name without forename(s) is a surname, the first indicator position contains value 0. Phrases, when formulated with inversion and an entry element similar to a surname are treated as a surname.

Initial articles occurring at the beginning of the title and/or part portion of a name/title added entry (i.e., 600 and 700) are also omitted. Any diacritics and/or special characters occurring at the beginning of fields are retained. Note that such characters are usually ignored for purposes of sorting or filing.
