Definition

A description of the method of referencing and the mechanism used to represent graphic information in a data set. Include the type of storage technique used, the number of items in the data set, and the format in which the data is stored.

For guidance on describing and encoding the attributes of audio recording carriers, see “Supplement 1” of the Music Library Association’s Supplements to Best Practices for Music Cataloging Using RDA and MARC21.

Subfields

 
ǂa Direct reference method

The system of objects used to directly represent space in the data set.

352     Vector
ǂb Object type

The specific type of point vector or raster graphic objects used to locate geometric locations in a data set.

352     Point : ǂb Entity point
352     Vector : ǂb Network chain, non-planar graph
352     Raster : ǂb pixel
ǂc Object count

The number of each point or vector object type used in a data set.

352     Vector : ǂb GT-polygon composed of chains ǂc (70)
ǂd Row count

The maximum number of raster objects along the coordinate (y) axis. Use row count with rectangular raster objects.

352     Raster : ǂb Grid cell ǂd (20,880 x ǂe 43,200)
ǂe Column count

The maximum number of raster objects along the abscissa (x) axis. Use column count with rectangular raster objects.

352     Raster : ǂb pixel ǂd (12,343 x ǂe 9,438) ; ǂq TIFF
ǂf Vertical count

The maximum number of raster objects along the vertical (z) axis. Use vertical count with rectangular volumetric raster objects (voxels).

352     Raster : ǂb pixel ǂd (13870 x ǂe 15951) ; ǂf 1 ; ǂq TIFF
ǂg VPF topology level

The level of completeness of the topology carried by the data set. Use levels defined in MIL-STD-2407, Department of Defense, Interface Standard for Vector Product Format.

352     Vector : ǂb node ǂc (3,252) ; ǂg 2
ǂi Indirect reference description

A description of the graphic features addressing schemes or other means through which locations are referenced.

352     Vector : ǂi 100 year floodplain boundary, 500 year floodplain boundary
ǂq Format of digital image

A description of the method of referencing and the mechanism used to represent graphic information in a data set. Include the type of storage technique used and the number of items in the data set.

352     Vector : ǂb Point ǂc (13671), ǂb string ǂc (20171), ǂb GT-polygon composed of chains ǂc (13672) ; ǂq ARC/INFO export
352     Raster : ǂb pixel ǂd (5,000 x ǂe 5,000) ; ǂq TIFF
ǂ6 Linkage

Data that link fields when non-Latin script is entered. This subfield is system supplied and does not appear in OCLC online displays. Do not manually add subfield ǂ6. For more information about subfield ǂ6, see Control Subfields.

ǂ8 Field link and sequence number

For information about subfield ǂ8, see Control Subfields.

Punctuation

For records containing punctuation, follow these instructions:

  • Precede subfields ǂb and ǂi by a space-colon-space or a comma-space as appropriate
  • Precede subfields ǂf, ǂg, and ǂq by a space-semicolon-space
  • Enclose the text in subfield ǂc in parentheses
  • Enclose the text within any single or consecutive occurrences of subfields ǂd and/or ǂe within one set of parentheses
  • Include incidental punctuation needed within any subfields, e.g., commas, periods (following abbreviations or initials), etc.
  • Optionally, add a terminal period at the end of the field unless the last subfield ends with an ellipsis or period (following an abbreviation or initial)
352     Raster : ǂb pixel ǂd (13870 x ǂe 15951) ; ǂf 1 ; ǂq TIFF.

For records containing minimal or no punctuation, include incidental punctuation needed within any subfields. Otherwise, omit the punctuation outlined above.
