Introduction
Format Sources contains a list of machine-readable cataloging record formats and their
associated
codes. The purpose of this list is to provide codes for the identification of the source format for
machine-readable data when records are converted, particularly when data elements are not
recognized and
must be moved to generic fields (e.g., MARC 886) in the target format. It is also used to
identify
variant implementations of a format.
Arrangement of the List
Entries in the list are arranged in alphabetical order by the code and consist of the source
code followed by the bibliographic citation for the source work.
Code Structure
The code assigned to a format is based on its title
(e.g.,
unimarc, based on
the title: UNIMARC Manual). Source codes consist of a maximum of eight lowercase
alphabetic characters.
The code may be followed by the edition or date of publication of the source work. The
code is separated
from the edition or date by a slash (/). Omission of the year or edition will imply that the
assigning
institution used the most recent edition of the source work
available. For example:
- ukmarc/1990
- UK MARC manual, 3rd edition, published in
1990
A special non-specific source code has been assigned for use in field 886. The code
local, meaning "locally defined",
should be used whenever a data element from a local
(unpublished) MARC format cannot be mapped to a standard MARC field other than
field 886.
