Appendix A

Mapping of ISBD, GARE and GSARE Data Elements to Logical Attributes

NOTE

This appendix is structured to correspond to Chapter 4 – Attributes. Each section of the appendix covers one of the entities defined in the model, and within each section there is a complete listing of attributes associated with that entity. The terms used to identify the logical attributes (in bold italics) are the same as those used in Chapter 4. Under the heading for each logical attribute is a list of ISBD, GARE and GSARE data elements that fall within the defined scope of the attribute.

The terms used to represent data elements correspond to the data element names used in the ISBDs, GARE and GSARE. If, however, the data element that falls within the scope of the logical attribute is more narrowly defined than the ISBD, GARE or GSARE data element, the data element name is qualified to indicate more specifically the type of data recorded within the data element that corresponds to the logical attribute. For example, under the logical attribute "form of work", the GARE data element "addition to uniform title – other additions" is qualified by the term "form of work" in square brackets to indicate that the data element corresponds to the logical attribute only when the content of the data element is a designation of the form of the work.

In addition to the data elements taken from the ISBDs, GARE and GSARE, the list of elements under each logical attribute includes, where applicable, coded data fields from the UNIMARC format. The UNIMARC fields that carry the textual form of the ISBD, GARE or GSARE data are not listed; only the supplementary fields that carry the equivalent data in a coded form are listed. For each such data element the name of the UNIMARC field is given, followed in parentheses by the field number, subfield identifier, and character position(s) within the subfield, as applicable. For example, "General processing data – target audience code (UNIMARC 100 a/17-19)," indicates that the coded form of the data for "intended audience" is recorded in field 100, subfield a, character positions 17-19 in the UNIMARC format.
