| 2 | Form of name indicator | |
| 0 | Name entered under forename or direct order | |
| 1 | Name entered under surname (family name, patronymic, etc.) |
The second indicator specifies whether the name is entered in direct order (only a forename or a forename and a surname) or under a surname (a surname and a forename).
Portion of the name used as the entry element in the subject heading that enables sorting and searching in the catalogue. Subfield is mandatory.
The remainder of the name (forename or names) used when the entry element is a surname (see examples 1, 2, 5). If this subfield is filled in, the value of the second indicator must be set to "1".
Any additions to the name (other than dates), which do not form an integral part of the name itself, e.g., titles, epithets, etc. (see examples 4, 7). Subfield is repeatable for second and subsequent additions.
Roman numerals associated with names of certain popes, royalty and ecclesiastics. If an epithet (or a further forename) is associated with the numeration, this too should be included (see example 4). If this subfield is filled in, the value of the second indicator must be set to "0".
The dates attached to personal names. Indications of the nature of the date (e.g., born, died, flourished) can also be entered in the subfield in full or abbreviated form (see examples 2, 5, 6, 8–10).
A term added to further specify the topic that the subject heading represents (see examples 3, 5, 10).
A term to further specify a place in relation to the person that the subject heading represents (see example 5).
A term to further specify the time period in relation to the person that the subject heading represents.
Code of the system or subject heading list (thesaurus) from which the subject heading is derived. It is recommended that this subfield is always filled in in a field 600.
This subfield is generated automatically in the compatibility process of bibliographic and authority records that are marked to be deleted.
If field 600 is linked to such authority record, the identification number of the authority record, that is used instead of the "deleted" record, is entered automatically in subfield 3 during the compatibility process; the former content of subfield 3 is transferred into subfield 9.
This field is intended for entering personal names used as subject headings. These headings are structured in the same way as the headings for persons responsible for the content of the bibliographic resource. Subfields a, b, c, d and f follow the same form as in field 700 where you can also find further explanation on the scope and content of these subfields.
Unlike field 700, field 600 can include more than just the name of the person and additions to the name. Terms may be added to a subject heading to further specify the form, topic, place or time. Subfields are formulated in accordance with the subject system.
Subfield 6006 is used only when a personal name is not linked to an authority record via subfield 6003.
| 601 | CORPORATE BODY NAME USED AS SUBJECT |
| When a corporate body rather than a person is the subject, field 601 is used. | |
| 602 | FAMILY NAME USED AS SUBJECT |
| When a family rather than a person is the subject, field 602 is used. | |
| 604 | NAME AND TITLE USED AS SUBJECT |
| When the subject is an author/title, field 604 is used. |
