Initial articles in X10 fields:

Initial articles (e.g., Der) occurring at the beginning of name heading fields are usually omitted in most languages, except when the intent is to file on the article.

Example:

110 2#$aLos Angeles County Bar Association.

Initial articles occurring at the beginning of the title and/or part portion of a name/title added entry (i.e., 610 , 710 , 810 ) are also omitted.

Any diacritics and/or special characters occurring at the beginning of fields are retained. Note that such characters are usually ignored for purposes of sorting or filing.

Example:

710 2#$aÖsterreichischer Rundfunk.$bChor.
