This block contains the related access points that form the structure of the "see also" references for the access point in field 2XX.

The indicators and the majority of subfields of the 5XX fields are the same as those in the 2XX fields, therefore the specifications of identical subfields are not repeated in the 5XX fields.

In 5XX fields the following control subfields may be used:

3Record number
5Relationship control
