NAME: Defining New Subfields $i, $3, and $4 in Field 370 of the MARC 21 Bibliographic and Authority Formats
SOURCE: ALCTS Subject Analysis Committee Subcommittee on Genre/Form Implementation
SUMMARY: This paper discusses adding subfields $i (Relationship information), $3 (Materials specified), and $4 (Relationship code) to field 370 (Associated Place) in the MARC 21 Bibliographic and Authority Formats. Subfields $i and $4 would be used to provide a note or relationship designator term or code that may be used to clarify the relationship of the associated place recorded in the field to the resource being described. Subfield $3 would be used to indicate that an associated place applies to only a part or portion of the resource.
KEYWORDS: Field 370 (BD, AD); Associated Place (BD, AD); Subfield $i, in field 370 (BD, AD); Relationship information (BD, AD); Subfield $3, in field 370; Materials specified (BD, AD); Subfield $4, in field 370 (BD, AD), Relationship code (BD, AD)
RELATED: 2009-01/1
STATUS/COMMENTS:
05/27/16 – Made available to the MARC community for discussion.
06/26/16 – Results of MARC Advisory Committee discussion: There was general support for the paper and it will return as a proposal, with SAC providing additional examples modelling the usage of subfield $3 (Materials specified) in field 370. SAC will also submit a new code for place of translation to be added to the MARC Code List for Relators.
MARC Proposal 2009-01/1 established field 370 (Associated Place) in the Authority Format. The field has the following subfields:
$a - Place of birth (NR)
$b - Place of death (NR)
$c - Associated country (R)
$e - Place of residence/headquarters (R)
$f - Other associated place (R)
$g - Place of origin of work (R)
$s - Start period (NR)
$t - End period (NR)
$u - Uniform Resource Identifier (R)
$v - Source of information (R)
$0 - Record control number (R)
$2 - Source of term (NR)
$6 - Linkage (NR)
$8 - Field link and sequence number (R)
In 2014, field 370 was also added to the Bibliographic Format, with the following subfields defined:
$c - Associated country (R)
$f - Other associated place (R)
$g - Place of origin of work (R)
$s - Start period (NR)
$t - End period (NR)
$u - Uniform Resource Identifier (R)
$v - Source of information (R)
$0 - Record control number (R)
$2 - Source of term (NR)
$6 - Linkage (NR)
$8 - Field link and sequence number (R)
As catalogers have begun using this field, it has become obvious that there are situations where it would useful to be able to
1) explain the relationship between a term recorded in the field and its relationship to the resource
and
2) indicate that an associated place recorded applies to only a part or portion of a resource.
For example, creators of and contributors to resources are not necessarily responsible for all aspects of a resource, and they may come from different places. A collaborative work such as a graphic novel could have its text created in one country and its art in another. The liner notes for a recording may be created in a completely different place from where the works recorded originated, or from where they were recorded. The contributors to an expression of a work may not come from the same place as the creators (as in the case of a musical work created in France and performed by an American performer or of a novel created in Russia and translated in Spain). Another common situation is that of a series that has a place of origin different from the individual works in the series (for example, a series comprised of Russian literary masterworks that is published in the United States). Currently there is no way to be more specific about the relationship of an associated place to a resource other than by the definition of the subfield used to record the place.
Subfields $i (Relationship information) and $4 (Relationship code) are defined in other fields in the MARC Bibliographic and Authority formats and if added to field 370 could be used to record a note or relationship designator or relator code to allow catalogers to specify in more detail the relationship between an associated place and its relationship to the resource described.
Subfield $3 (Materials specified) is defined in other fields in the MARC Bibliographic and Authority formats and if added to field 370 could be used to indicate that an associated place is related only to a part or portion of a resource.
Potential Proposed Changes:
Define new subfields $i, $3, and $4 in field 370 in both Bibliographic and Authority format:
$i - Relationship information (R)
Designation of a relationship between the associated place recorded in the field and the work or expression being described. This may be an uncontrolled textual phrase or a controlled textual value from a list of relationships between bibliographic resources.$3 - Materials specified (NR)
Part of the described materials to which the field applies.$4 - Relationship code (R)
MARC code that specifies the relationship between the associated place recorded in the field and the work or expression being described.
There are two ways the proposed new coding could be employed, both of which are illustrated in the examples. The coding could be used to supply relationship information about a place associated with group creator/contributors, such as specifying the associated place of an unnamed performing choir. It could also be used to supply relationship information for individuals or named bodies where the associated place for a named entity may also have been recorded in the entity’s authority record. Deciding how to employ the coding if approved will be up to communities of practice.
In the Bibliographic format, field 518 is available to record a note about the place of an event. Subfield $p (Place of event) was added in 2010. Subfield $p may be recorded in a controlled or uncontrolled form, and subfield $2 is available to record the MARC code that identifies the source of the term in $p (Place of event) when it is from a controlled list. There is potential overlap between field 370 and 518 $p if an associated place is related to an event. Such overlap is not unique (see for example, fields 380 (Form of Work) and 655 (Index Term--Genre/Form)). The choice of 370 or 518 should be left to communities of practice to decide best practices.

There are multiple situations in the proposal for places to be associated with Works or Instances. Each would need to be analyzed but the data in MARC will assist in the transformation of that data to BIBFRAME.
5.1. Do you agree that there is a need to be able to indicate role relationships in some situations when associated places are recorded in field 370?
5.2. Are subfields $i and $4 the best solution? Would some other subfield(s) be preferable (e.g., $z for notes)? Are subfields $i and $4 all that is needed?
5.3. Do you agree that there is a need to add subfield $3 to field 370?
