1XX Main Entry Fields (Variable Data Field)
Definition and scope:
Fields 100, 110, 111, and 130 contain a name (100-111) or a uniform title (130) heading used as a main entry.

Alternatively, the main entry may contain the name of the person, family, or entity for whom or which a collection is named.
The National Level Record requirement for the 1XX fields is Mandatory if applicable. Except for differences in the definitions of indicator values, content designation in the 1XX fields is consistent across all Formats.
