Content designator history:

Second indicator - Main entry/subject relationship (BK MU SE) [obsolete]: The use of the second indicator in field 111 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 $a - Meeting name or jurisdiction name as entry element [expanded]

$q - Name of meeting following jurisdiction name entry element [defined]

The name of a meeting entered under a jurisdiction name was not separately subfield coded prior to the definition of subfield $q in 1972. At the same time, subfield $a was expanded to include a jurisdiction name as entry element.

Subfields $b - Number [obsolete]

$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 and subfield $b was made obsolete.
