Numeric and Control Subfields

lake44me commented 2 years ago

Preliminary research:
Control Subfields general definition:

I went through all the tags and these are the MARC fields i found with $5 defined.

0xx:

1xx: $5 is not defined for any of the 1xx fields

2xx:

3xx: $5 is not defined for any of the 3xx fields.

4xx: $5 is not defined for 490, the only currently valid 4xx field.

5xx:

6xx:

7xx:

8xx:

The section from 840 up to 890 contains a number of fields documented in MARC Format for Holdings; I checked the ones not documented in the Bibliographic format in the holdings format, which also has $5 defined.

My observation at this point - there may be approaches to specific groups of tags but the contexts for use of $5 are too variable to have a "blanket mapping". I'll say more in the discussion soon.

id.loc.gov Code List for Cultural Organizations: https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/organizations.html provides URIs based on the codes that would be found in $5, identifying an authority in MADS and SKOS (no RWO?).
