- Expected: Fields in the Sources/Marc21 formats are arranged in numeric order
- Unexpected: there is no 1XX field because there is no “authorized form” as we are know it and are used to seeing in the NAR. Instead, the “Name” appears in the 7XX field, and there can be multiple 7XX fields.
- Each form of the name in the 7XX field is followed by a code for the source.
- The 4XX fields (which precede the 7XX fields) are the “alternate names” as determined by the institution that contributed the data. It also doesn’t matter if the forms repeat, or if the same form appears in both the 7XX and 4XX field…what is important is the source of the data (who says so and how many) In the end, all of the forms of the name in this record are linked to this one specific ISNI
- name variants are fine: spellings, middle name, with and without birth and death dates
