Subject type default mappings

Subject Type mapping is based on the 6xx field used for subject details in a MARC record (e.g. =650  \0$aShort stories).
Default mappings are as follows:

• 600 - Personal name

• 610 - Corporate name

• 611 - Meeting name

• 630 - Uniform title

• 647 - Named event

• 648 - Chronological term

• 650 - Topical term

• 651 - Geographic name

• 653 - Uncontrolled

• 654 - Faceted Topical Terms

• 655 - Genre/Form

• 656 - Occupation

• 657 - Function

• 658 - Curriculum Objective

• 662 - Hierarchical Place Name

• 688 - Type of Entity Unspecified

Subject source default mappings

Subject source mapping is based on the value, 0 through 7, of the 2^nd indicator in the subject line of a MARC record (e.g. =650  \0$aShort stories).
Default mappings are as follows:

• 0 - Library of Congress Subject Headings

• 1 - Library of Congress Children’s and Young Adults' Subject Headings

• 2 - Medical Subject Headings

• 3 - National Agriculture Library subject authority file

• 4 - Source not specified

• 5 - Canadian Subject Headings

• 6 - Répertoire de vedettes-matière

• 7 - Source specified in subfield $2 *

*Note: When 2^nd indicator 7 is present, the system will look to match the value in subfield 2 with a corresponding custom Subject source as noted in Settings > Inventory.

• For example, if the subject line is =655  \7$aDetective and mystery fiction.$2fast, and Inventory settings contains a custom Subject source of Name = Faceted Application of Subject Terminology & Code = fast, then the Subject source for the resulting Instance will be “Faceted Application of Subject Terminology”.

• If no match for the $2 value is found in Subject source settings, then the Subject source field of the resulting Instance will be blank.
