Real variants (different spellings, vernacular, foreign or historic forms etc.) as well as ficticious names or names of other places used to disguise the actual place of publishing in a book's imprint.

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.
Inflected forms can also be recorded in field 415; prepositions and introductory phrases, however, should not be given (neither in subfield $a nor in subfield $e).
For the creation of an RDF description, the following mapping is applied:
| $a | rdaGr3:variantNameForThePlace | if indicator position 1 holds 0 |
| $a | ct:ficticiousNameForThePlace | if indicator position 1 holds 1 |
