COMARC/A Format for Authorities Data

PDFCOMARC/AOctober2020

915 Unlinked see reference – personal name**

Field 915 was used in authority records that were automatically created on the basis of data from bibliographic records. During the initial data conversion the variant forms of personal names (variant access points) have been transferred in repeatable field 915 from fields 901 and 902 in the bibliographic database, which was not regularly linked to belonging fields 701 and 702 (there was no subfield 7016 for linking fields 701 and 901 or 702 and 902).
