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.
