SUBFIELDS

For more detailed information about subfields 7 and 9 see chapter Control subfields.

200a Entry element

The portion of the name used as the entry element in the access point that enables both search and sort within the catalogue. Subfield is mandatory.

200b Part of name (not entry element)

The reminder of the name (forename or names), used when the entry element is a surname or family name (see examples 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 12). If this subfield is entered the value of the indicator should be set to "1".

200c Additions other than dates

Any additions to name which do not form an integral part of the name itself, including titles, epithets or other indications (see examples 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 15, 16). Subfield is repeatable for second or subsequent additions (see examples 4, 5).

200d Roman numerals

Roman mumerals associated with names of certain popes, royalty and ecclesiastics (see examples 2, 9). If an epithet (or a further forename) is associated with the numeration, this too should be included (see example 6). The form of name indicator should be set to "0" when this subfield is used.

200f Dates

The dates attached to personal names (see examples 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 10, 12). Any indications of the type of date (e.g. born, died, flourished) should be entered in the subfield in full or abbreviated form (see example 7).

200r Researcher code*

This subfield is designated for maintaining researchers' bibliographies within the COBISS system. This field is mandatory in records for all researchers that are registered at the competent ministry. The global researchers' code list is generated from the official registers of the ministry containing following data: researcher code, researcher surname and forename, maiden name, year of birth and research area (see example 12).

NOTES ON FIELD CONTENTS

The subfields forming the base access point that identify the personal name are a, b and d.

The field is repeatable in the COBISS systems that require catalogues in different scripts.
