$8 Language Code (O;NR)
see the description of numerical subfields. Mandatory to precede each $n subfield.
$a Entry Element (M;NR)
Subfield $a contains the part of the name that would form the primary entry element if this name form were used as a heading. This might be the last name or the name of the business running by the respective printer. The use of this field is mandatory in every occurrence of this field.
$b Part of Name Other than Entry Element (O;NR)
Subfield $b contains the part of the name that would form the secondary entry element if the given name form were used as a heading. This is in most cases the first name.
$e Non-sorting Part of Name (O;NR)
Any part of the entry element, which would be skipped if entry elements are sorted alphabetically.
$f Introductory Phrases (O;R)
Any words preceding or following the name of the printer or publisher in the imprint. This subfield is used only, if actual imprint phrases are recorded in the record. In contrast to subfield $e, this subfield is not subject to permutation in index entries.
$n General Note (O;NR)
Any note or comment on the imprint name given in this field. This subfield is always preceded by a subfield $8 indicating the language of this subfield's content.
$r Addition to the Name (O;R)
Subfield $r contains any addition to the name given in this field. This particularly includes filing qualifiers as prescribed by the applied cataloguing rules.
$s Source Note (O;R)
Subfield $s contains a reference to the source consulted by the cataloguer for this specific information. This subfield should be used only in case the source reference has not been given in field 290 Source referred to in a record (O;NR) or in case two or more sources hold contradicting information.
$z Chronological Note (O;NR)
Subfield $z contains a year or a range of years indicating the time period, when the given name form was used by the printer or publisher. This might be derived from publication years of the works produced by the described entity or from other appropriate sources. It should not contain biographical dates or dates of activity, which are recorded in field 340 Biographical Dates / Dates of Existence (O;R).
$0 Type of Name (O;NR)
The type of the name form given in this field in coded form. Use one of the following codes:
| Code | meaning | remark | equivalent GND code |
|---|---|---|---|
| abbr | abbreviated name | abku | |
| comp | complete name | navo | |
| fict | fictional name | any fictional name form | |
| form | former name | nafr | |
| intm | name used intermittently | nazw | |
| latr | later name | nasp | |
| pref | former preferred name | naaf,ngkd,nswd | |
| pseu | Pseudonym | subgroup of 'fict' | pseu |
| real | real name | if heading is a pseudonym | nawi |
| varn | variant name (default) |
$9 Temporary data (O;NR) see the description of numerical subfields.
The variant name form may be entered either in inverted or in natural order. Natural order is useful if an imprint is transcribed directly from the book or from a bibliographical record. In this case introductory phrases or phrases that occur after the printer's name may be given in a subfield $f. If necessary, subfield $f can be repeated. It is not appropriate to use subfields $e or $r for this purpose.
Indicator position 1 can be left blank when manually entering a field when subfield $0 is entered.
If no subfield $0 is entered, it will be generated automatically (with the value 'varn' if indicator position 1 holds '0' or 'fict' if that indicator position holds '1') once a record is saved.
