Guidelines for applying content designators:
The defined content designators identify the subelements occurring in corporate name fields 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 a work, 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 field 651 (Subject Added Entry - Geographic Name)
.
For non-subject purposes, other names used alone are contained in 110, 410, and 710 fields.
A named meeting that is entered under a corporate name is contained in the X10 fields.
A meeting entered directly under its own name is contained in the X11 fields
.
Corporate names used in phrase subject headings (e.g., Catholic Church in art) are contained in field 650 (Subject Added Entry - Topical Term)
.

Second indicator - Main entry/subject relationship (BK MU SE) [obsolete]: The use of the second indicator in field 110 to indicate the main entry/subject relationship was made obsolete in 1990. The values were: 0 (Main entry/subject relationship irrelevant) and 1 (Main entry is subject).
Subfields $c - Location of meeting [defined]
$d - Date of meeting or treaty signing [defined]
The location and date of a meeting and the date of signing of a treaty entered under a corporate body or jurisdiction were not separately subfield coded prior to the definition of subfields $c and $d in 1980.
Subfields $n - Number of part/section/meeting [defined]
$p - Name of part/section of a work [redefined]
In 1979, subfield $n was defined for numbered parts/sections and subfield $p (Part) was redefined to include only named parts/sections. Prior to that change, both the number and the name of a part were contained in one $p subfield.
In 1980, the definition of subfield $n was expanded to include meeting numbers. Prior to this change, the number of a meeting entered under a corporate body was not separately subfield coded.
