863-865 Enumeration and Chronology - General Information (Variable Data Fields)
863 Enumeration and Chronology - Basic Bibliographic Unit (R)
864 Enumeration and Chronology - Supplementary Material (R)
865 Enumeration and Chronology - Indexes (R)
An 863-865 Enumeration and Chronology field contains a description of the holdings of a bibliographic item in the collections of the reporting organization. The captions that identify the enumeration and chronology levels and the codes that define the publication pattern of the holdings are contained in the 853-855 Captions and Pattern fields that are linked to the 863-865 fields by a number in subfield $8 (Field link and sequence number).
A general description of the four types of holdings data fields and their relationship to each other is given in the 853-878 Holdings Data - General Information section. The specific data elements that are required for the compression or expansion of enumeration and chronology data by computer algorithm is given in the Input Conventions area of the 853-855 Captions and Pattern - General Information section. A description of Compressibility and expandability is given in the 853-878 Holdings Data - General Information section.
Fields 863-865 are repeatable.
