Guidelines for applying content designators:

The content designators identify the subelements occurring in chronological term headings constructed according to generally accepted thesaurus-building conventions (e.g., Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST)).

Chronological terms include dates that are used as the lead element of subject or added entry access fields in bibliographic records.

A chronological term that is authorized for use only as a subject subdivision part of an extended subject heading is contained in a 182 (Chronological Subdivision) field.
