Field definition and scope

Media type reflects the general type of intermediation device required to view, play, run, etc., the content of a resource. Used as an alternative to or in addition to the coded expression of Media type in field 007/00 (Category of material). Field 337 information enables indication of more specific media types and media types from various lists.

Multiple media types from the same source vocabulary or code list may be recorded in the same field in separate occurrences of subfield ‡a (Media type term) and subfield ‡b (Media type code). Terms from different source vocabularies are recorded in separate occurrences of the field.

Subfields

‡a - File type

Subfield ‡a contains the general type of data content encoded in a computer file.

‡b - Encoding format

Subfield ‡b contains the schema, standard, etc. used to encode the digital content of a resource.

‡c - File size

Subfield ‡c contains the number of bytes in a digital file.

‡d - Resolution

Subfield ‡d contains the clarity or fineness of detail in a digital image, expressed by the measurement of the image in pixels, etc.

‡e - Regional encoding

Subfield ‡e contains a code identifying the region of the world for which a digital file has been encoded which may prevent the file from being played on a player from a different region.

‡f - Encoded bitrate

Subfield ‡f contains the speed at which streaming audio, video, etc. is designed to play.

‡0 - Authority record control number or standard number

Subfield ‡0 contains the system control number of the related authority record or a standard identifier such as an International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI). The control number or identifier is preceded by the applicable MARC organization code (for a related authority record) or the standard identifier source code (for a standard identifier scheme), enclosed in parentheses. For a listing of organization codes, see MARC Code List for Organizations, which also includes links to Canadian, United Kingdom, and German MARC Organization Code lists. For a listing of standard identifiers, see Standard Identifier Source Codes. Subfield ‡0 is repeatable for different control numbers or identifiers.

‡1 - Real World Object URI

Subfield ‡1 contains a URI that identifies a description of an entity, sometimes referred to as a Thing, a Real World Object, or RWO, whether actual or conceptual. When dereferenced, the URI points to a description of that entity. A URI that identifies a name or label for an entity is contained in subfield ‡0.

‡2 - Source

Subfield ‡2 contains the MARC code that identifies the source of the number or code used to record the media type information. Code from: Genre/Form Code and Term Source Codes.

‡3 - Materials specified

Subfield ‡3 contains information that indicates the part of the described material to which the field applies.

‡8 - Field link and sequence number

Subfield ‡8 contains data that identifies linked fields and may also propose a sequence for the linked fields. Subfield ‡8 may be repeated to link a field to more than one other group of fields.

The structure and syntax for the field link and sequence number subfield is: ‡8<linking number>.<sequence number>\<field link type>

The linking number is the first data element in the subfield and required if the subfield is used. It is a variable-length whole number that occurs in subfield ‡8 in all fields that are to be linked. Fields with the same linking number are considered linked. A linking number of "0" (zero) is not used in this field.

The sequence number is separated from the linking number by a period "." and may be optional. It is a variable-length whole number that may be used to indicate the relative order for display of the linked fields (lower sequence numbers displaying before higher ones).

The field link type is separated from preceding data by a reverse slash "\". It is a code indicating the reason for the link and it follows the link number or sequence number if present. The following one-character field link type code has been defined for use in subfield 8 in OCLC local holdings records: a - Action

Code a is used in a record to link one or more fields with another field to which the processing or reference actions relate. This code is typically used only when there is more than one 5XX that relates to another 5XX field.
