Indicators

INDICATORVALUEMEANING
1Subject heading level
0No level specified
1Primary term
2Secondary term
2Not defined

First indicator is used to distinguish between primary and secondary term. A term is primary (value "1") if it covers the main topic or subject. A term which covers the less important topic is secondary (value "2"). Value "0" is used when we do not distinguish between primary and secondary term.

SUBFIELDS

610a Subject term

A subject term should be entered.

610z Language

A three-character code for the language of the subject terms.

NOTES ON FIELD CONTENTS

Terms belonging to a structured system of subject headings should be entered in fields 600–609 with a corresponding system code in subfield 2.

It is also possible to enter mathematical and other symbols according to the LaTeX[10] rules. These symbols begin and end with the sign "▫".
