MARC Code List: PART I: RELATOR CODES

Introduction

The purpose of this list of relator terms and associated codes is to allow the relationship between a name and a work to be designated by codes in the MARC record. The relator code list is in two sections: Term Sequence, and Code Sequence.

Code Structure

The relator codes are three-character lowercase alphabetic strings. In most cases they consist of the first letter of the first word of the relator term followed by two additional letters derived from the word(s) making up the relator term.
