Guidelines for applying content designators:
The content designators identify the subelements occurring in a name or name/title heading that contains a corporate name constructed according to the generally accepted cataloging and thesaurus-building rules [e.g, Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR 2), Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH)].
A corporate name, a form subheading, a title of an item or a series, and/or a city section name entered under the name of a jurisdiction are X10 corporate names.
A name of a jurisdiction that represents an ecclesiastical entity is an X10 corporate name.
For subject purposes, other names of jurisdictions used alone or followed by subject subdivisions
are geographic names and are contained in the X51 fields
.
For non-subject purposes, other names used alone are contained in the X10 fields.
A named meeting that is entered directly under a corporate name is contained in the X11 fields
.
Corporate names used in phrase subject headings (e.g., Catholic Church in art) are contained in the X50 fields
.
The indicators, subfield codes, and input conventions for the corporate name fields 110, 410, 510, and 710 follow similar patterns. Guidelines for applying them are below. Subfields are grouped by type of entry.

When subfield $v was adapted for form subdivisions in MARC bibliographic and authority heading fields in 1995, subfield $v was redefined as Form subdivision.
