| 2 | Form of name indicator | |

The first indicator specifies whether the corporate body is a meeting (conference, symposium, etc.) or not. If the name of the meeting is a subdivision of the name of a corporate body, the name is regarded as that of a corporate body (see example 10).
The second indicator denotes the form of the corporate name.
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 name of a lower level in a hierarchy when the name includes a hierarchy, or the name of a corporate body subordinate to a political entity (see example 9). This subfield excludes any additions to the name added to distinguish between institutions with the same name (see subfields c, g and h). Subfield is repeated when there are more than two levels in the hierarchy.
Any addition added to the name of the corporate body by the cataloguer, other than number, year and place of the meeting (see examples 4, 5, 7, 8, 11).
The number of a meeting (see example 10).
The place where a meeting was held when it is required as part of the subject heading (see example 10).
The date of a meeting when it is required as part of the subject heading (see example 10).
Any part of the name of the corporate body which is removed from the beginning of the name in order to enter the body under a word which is more likely to be sought.
With the inverted form of the name, use this subfield to enter the part of the name, which is not the entry or inverted element.
A term added to further specify the topic that the subject heading represents (see examples 2, 5, 6, 8, 14).
A term to further specify a place in relation to the corporate body that the subject heading represents (see example 6).
A term to further specify the time period in relation to the corporate body that the subject heading represents (see examples 9, 12).
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 601.
Identification number of an authority record for a corporate body name (see example 11).
A two-digit number (01–99) for linking the 601 fields with the corresponding 961 fields (see examples 12, 13).
This subfield is generated automatically in the compatibility process of bibliographic and authority records that are marked to be deleted.
If field 601 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 corporate body names used as subject headings. These headings are structured in the same way as the headings for corporate bodies responsible for the content of the bibliographic resource. Subfields a, b, c, d, e, f, g and h follow the same form as in field 710 where you can also find further explanation on the scope and content of these subfields.
Unlike field 710, field 601 can include more than just the name of the corporate body 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.
This field is used to enter the names of political entities followed by a subdivision for a subordinate body (see example 9). If the name of a political entity appears alone or is subdivided only by subject terms, it is entered in field 607.
Subfield 6016 is used only when a corporate body name is not linked to an authority record via subfield 6013.
| 600 | PERSONAL NAME USED AS SUBJECT |
| When a person rather than a corporate body is the subject, field 600 is used. | |
| 602 | FAMILY NAME USED AS SUBJECT |
| When a family rather than a corporate body 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. | |
| 607 | GEOGRAPHICAL NAME USED AS SUBJECT |
| Political entities represented by geographical names are entered in field 607 if they appear alone or subdivided only by subject terms. |
