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).
INDICATOR | VALUE | MEANING |
1 | Not defined | |
2 | Form of name indicator | |
0 | name entered under forename or direct order | |
1 | name entered under surname |
The indicator signifies whether the name is entered in direct order (only a forename or a forename and a surname) or under a surname (a surname and a forname).
The access point entered in this field is a variant or non-preferred form of the personal name.
It is necessary to check out if it is really a variant form of the personal name stated in field 200, since the data have been transferred automatically.
