Appendix D - ANSI/NISO Z39.71 AND ISO 10324 Data Elements


MARC 21 Holdings
October 2003

This appendix lists the data elements in the holdings statements specified in ANSI/NISO Z39.71, Holdings Statements for Bibliographic Items and ISO 10324, Holdings Statements-Summary Level and indicates the corresponding MARC holdings format content designation. ANSI Z39.71 replaces the two previous standards, Z39.44 (Serial Holdings Statements) and Z39.57 (Non-Serial Holdings Statements). The ANSI and ISO standards give the form for display of holdings statements, while MARC is a carrier for the data elements that are used to construct the display. Since ISO 10324 only covers summary holdings statements, some elements relate only to ANSI/NISO Z39.71.

When ANSI Z39.44, which included both summary and detailed holdings statements, was completed, its precursor, ANSI Z39.42, Serial Holdings Statements at the Summary Level, was withdrawn by ANSI. The ANSI Z39.42 specification was only slightly different from the summary holdings specifications in ANSI Z39.44 (and consequently in Z39.71). Because some institutions may have records conforming to Z39.42, the one Z39.42 data element that does not occur in Z39.44 or Z39.71 has been listed under the ANSI/NISO column and marked obsolete. In instances where there is no one-to-one correlation between the ANSI/NISO data element and a MARC content designator, a dash is used under the MARC column.
