CatfilePlus and Serfile XML Element Descriptions

XML Elements descriptions for elements defined in NLMCatalogRecord.dtd (drawing on NLMSharedcatcit.dtd and NLMCommon.dtd) and used in CatfilePlus (in XML) and Serfile (in XML)

THE ELEMENTS defined in or referenced by the NLMCatalogRecord DTD:
The elements are presented in this document in the order in which they appear in the XML versions of CatfilePlus and Serfile. The elements are defined in the NLMCatalogRecord.DTD, which in turn references elements in NLMSharedcatcit.dtd and NLMCommon.dtd.

Together, these three interconnected DTDs produce a file of records which NLMCatalogRecord.DTD identifies as "NLMCatalogRecordSet"

Any NLMCatalogRecordSet may contain zero, one or many individual bibliographic records, with each record encapsulated in an occurrence of <NLMCatalogRecord> AND/OR one (and only one) occurrence of an "umbrella" record, DeleteCatalogRecord, which lists one or more deleted records, by record identifier only.

The contents of NLMCatalogRecordSet:

The presence of each new or updated catalog record requires a separate occurrence of the top-level XML element, <NLMCatalogRecord>, with suitable sub-elements.

In this document, the description of this top-level element for catalog records, <NLMCatalogRecord>, is followed by the descriptions of the 47 second-level (or "parent") elements, which have been numbered for convenience and readability.

Notification of the delete of (a) previously issued record(s) requires a single occurrence of the top-level XML element, <DeleteCatalogRecord>, which will contain occurrence(s) of the <NLMUniqueID> element of record(s) being deleted and no other sub-elements.

An alphabetical list of all element names is at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/licensee/catrecordxml_elementlist_alphabetical

Within each of the 47 numbered sections, the following information is listed, if appropriate:

About Attributes:
While a brief description of the attributes for each element is given with the element, additional information about the attributes will be found in the separate document on attributes, where the values are also listed.

"CompleteYN" attribute:
The attribute "CompleteYN" is used only once in NLMCatalogRecord, in <AuthorList>. However, in every case (including <AuthorList>) where a list element is defined to group multiple occurrences of like elements, the list is considered to be complete.

About the Examples(s):
In most cases, multiple examples are given within the Example(s) section. If multiple occurrences of the same element occur together, without intervening blank lines, the intent is to show a situation which is possible with repeating occurrences on one record. Where there are blank lines between occurrences of the same element, the examples are drawn from multiple records. That does not necessarily preclude these values from occurring on the same record under other circumstances. If an element is not repeatable, this is explicitly stated.

About Elements:
An alphabetical list of all element names is at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/licensee/catrecordxml_elementlist_alphabetical.html

About the Character Set:
Information about the character set used in NLMCatalogRecordSet is at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/licensee/catrecordxml_characterset.html



TOP ELEMENT for new or updated Catalog Records: <NLMCatalogRecord>

Additional ("child") elements: See 1-47, below.
Attributes:
with <NLMCatalogRecord>: Owner, Status

<NLMCatalogRecord> is the top-level element which encloses each record.
One <NLMCatalogRecord> is derived from one new or updated LocatorPlus record.

This element itself contains no data but has two attributes, Owner and Status.

The Owner attribute at this top-level element indicates the organization that is responsible for the creation and maintenance of the bibliographic record in LocatorPlus. If responsibility is shared between NLM and any other organization(s), Owner will be set to NLM and the other organizations will be identified in <CollaborativePartnerDate>.

The Status attribute indicates the current processing or cataloging status of the resource reflected by this record.

Example(s): See sample set, or Examples of specific elements below.

MARC 21 source: Each XML record corresponds to one MARC 21 record in LocatorPlus.

  1. <NLMUniqueID>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    The <NLMUniqueID> is the 7-9 digit alpha-numeric identifier used to uniquely identify every record in LocatorPlus and, as a consequence, also in NLMCatalogRecordSet.

    This element is required and not repeatable within a single catalog record. However, as an XML element, it may be repeated within <DeleteCatalogRecord> when a list of deleted records is being supplied.

    Example(s):
    <NlmUniqueID>2436043R</NlmUniqueID>

    <NlmUniqueID>18120320R</NlmUniqueID>

    <NlmUniqueID>9600954</NlmUniqueID>

    <NlmUniqueID>7900631A</NlmUniqueID>

    <NlmUniqueID>100931012</NlmUniqueID>

    MARC 21 source: Field 035 subfield $9 (local field in LocatorPlus). When LocatorPlus records are distributed in MARC 21 format, the data in <NLMUniqueID> appears in the 001 field.

    Additional information/background:
    For catalog records initiated in NLM's cataloging, acquisitions or serial record systems prior to Fall 1998, the <NLMUniqueID> may be 7 to 9 digits in length; the terminal digit may be numeric or the alphabetic characters "A" or "R".

    Beginning with NLM's implementation of the LocatorPlus integrated library system in Fall 1998, each record initiated in or loaded from NLM or collaborative partner databases has an <NLMUniqueID> consisting of 9 numerics.

    <NLMUniqueID> may be used to locate the bibliographic record in LocatorPlus at http://locatorplus.gov/ where the user can have access to NLM holdings and item information.

  2. <DateCreated>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Year>
    <Month>
    <Day>
    Attributes: (none)

    The <DateCreated> is the date the record was first entered into an NLM or collaborative partner database.

    Example(s):
    <DateCreated>
    <Year>1980</Year>
    <Month>11</Month>
    <Day>20</Day>
    </DateCreated>

    MARC 21 source: Field 008 bytes 00/05 (year has been expanded to 4 digits)

  3. <DateRevised>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Year>
    <Month>
    <Day>
    Attributes: (none)

    The <DateRevised> is a system-supplied date which identifies the most recent time a change was made to the record. There is no indication of what the change was or how significant. Only the latest revision date is given.

    Example(s):
    <DateRevised>
    <Year>2003</Year>
    <Month>02</Month>
    <Day>28</Day>
    </DateRevised>

    MARC 21 source: Field 005 bytes 00/07

  4. <DateAuthorized>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Year>
    <Month>
    <Day>
    Attributes: (none)

    The <DateAuthorized> is the date when NLM authorized the cataloging of this record.

    Example(s):
    <DateAuthorized>
    <Year>1980</Year>
    <Month>11</Month>
    <Day>20</Day>
    </DateAuthorized>

    MARC 21 source: Field 995 subfield $b (LocatorPlus local field)

    Additional information/background:
    <DateAuthorized> exists only for records which have been cataloged by NLM.

  5. <DateCompleted>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Year>
    <Month>
    <Day>
    Attributes: (none)

    <DateCompleted> is the earliest of either:
    1) the date when the record has been authorized by NLM, or
    2) the date when it has been completed by a collaborative partner.

    Example(s):
    <DateCompleted>
    <Year>1991</Year>
    <Month>12</Month>
    <Day>04</Day>
    </DateCompleted>

    MARC 21 source: The earliest of Field 995 subfield $b or Field 995 subfield $d or Field 998 $b where $a contains "REL". (Fields 995 and 998 are LocatorPlus local fields).

    Additional information/background:
    <DateCompleted> exists only on records which have reached "completion" according to the standards (which vary) of at least one participating organization. Records with the <LocatorCitation> Status attribute value set to "In-Process records" or "Not-Our-Cataloging" are examples of records that do not have a <DateCompleted>.

  6. <DateRevisedMajor>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Year>
    <Month>
    <Day>
    Attributes: (none)

    <DateRevisedMajor> is an operator- or programmer-assigned date which identifies the most recent time a completed NLM cataloged record underwent revision other than global maintainance by the system. <DateRevisedMajor> is assigned for local tracking purposes. There is no indication of what the change was or how significant. Only the latest major revision date is given.

    Example(s):
    <DateRevisedMajor>
    <Year>2003</Year>
    <Month>03</Month>
    <Day>28</Day>
    </DateRevisedMajor>

    MARC 21 source: Field 995 subfield $d (LocatorPlus local field)

    Additional information/background:
    <DateRevisedMajor> is optional and cannot exist unless <DateAuthorized> also exists. When it exists, <DateRevisedMajor> must be equal to or later than <DateAuthorized>.

  7. <CollaborativePartnerDate>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: Owner, CollaborativeStatus

    <CollaborativePartnerDate> indicates the date a collaborative partner last modified the record and changed its CollaborativeStatus. It exists on records which contain data contributed by one or more NLM collaborative partners.

    The Owner attribute indicates which collaborative partner is associated with this <CollaborativePartnerDate>.

    The CollaborativeStatus attribute indicates the most recent stage the record has reached in the partner's processing.workflow. The value "Other" is the default used when the CollaborativeStatus cannot be explicitly set to one of the other values.

    Example(s):
    <CollaborativePartnerDate Owner="HSR" CollaborativeStatus="In-House-Review">20030312</CollaborativePartnerDate>

    <CollaborativePartnerDate Owner="KIE" CollaborativeStatus="Released">20010409</CollaborativePartnerDate>

    <CollaborativePartnerDate Owner="NASA" CollaborativeStatus="Create">20030330</CollaborativePartnerDate>

    MARC 21 source: Field 998 (LocatorPlus local field) subfields $a and $b.

    Additional information/background:
    Multiple collaborative partners may be associated with a single record, regardless of whether the record is owned by and/or cataloged by NLM. <CollaborativePartnerDate> is repeated for each collaborative partner associated with a record.

  8. <TitleMain>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Title>
    <OtherInformation>
    Attributes:
    with <TitleMain>: Sort

    <TitleMain> contains the title and statement of responsibility information, as they appear on the material. If the title proper is in a non-English language, the <TitleMain> will contain the title in that language; if the language is non-roman (such as Chinese or Japanese), it will appear in a romanized form of that language. In most cases, punctuation is retained from the LocatorPlus record.

    The <Title> element contains the title including name and/or numbering of parts; <OtherInformation> contains the statement of responsibility (authorship information).

    Example(s):
    <TitleMain Sort="0">
    <Title>Acta agriculturae Scandinavica. Section A, Animal Science</Title>
    </TitleMain>

    <TitleMain Sort="0">
    <Title>20 common problems : ethics in primary care</Title>
    <OtherInformation>/ [edited by] Jeremy Sugarman.</OtherInformation>
    </TitleMain>

    <TitleMain Sort="4">
    <Title>The El Paso Physician.</Title>
    </TitleMain>

    <TitleMain Sort="0">
    <Title>Natural health encyclopedia</Title>
    <OtherInformation>[electronic resource] / by Dia Spriggs.</OtherInformation>
    </TitleMain>

    MARC 21 source: Field 245

  9. <MedlineTA>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    <MedlineTA> contains the NLM standard abbreviation for the title of a journal cited in NLM's online services. Each journal title indexed by NLM is assigned a unique title abbreviation.

    See the NLM Fact Sheet "Construction of National Library of Medicine Title Abbreviations" at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/constructitle.html for more information on the rules currently used by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to construct title abbreviations for journals indexed by NLM.

    Example(s):
    <MedlineTA>20 Century Br Hist</MedlineTA>

    <MedlineTA>Allg Wien Med Ztg</MedlineTA>

    <MedlineTA>ASA Audio Rev Anesthesiol</MedlineTA>

    MARC 21 source: Field 210 (when Indicator 2=0 and $2=DNLM)

  10. <TitleOther>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <TitleAlternate>
    <OtherInformation>
    Attributes:
    with <TitleOther>: Sort, Owner, TitleType

    <TitleOther> contains series information and titles other than the <TitleMain> and for indexed journals, the <MedlineTA>.

    <OtherInformation>
    <TitleAssociatedWithName>
    Attributes:
    with <AuthorList>: CompleteYN

    Personal and collective (corporate) author names published with the article are found in <AuthorList>.

    Personal name <Author> data has been parced as closely as possible into the following elements., though due to a variety of data sources, cataloging rule changes and MARC subcoding practices, not all Personal Name <Author> data cannot be accurately parced.
    <LastName> contains the surname.
    <ForeName> contains the remainder of name(s). Depending on the original source of the LocatorPlus record, <ForeName> may contain of only one or more initials.
    <Initials> contains up to two initials
    <Suffix> contains one of the following suffixes: Jr, Sr, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, II, III, IV
    <DatesAssociatedWithName> contains dates of birth, death, flourishing, or any other date used with a name
    <NameQualifier> contains any fuller forms of name(s) than those given <ForeName> <TitleAssociatedWithName> contains a uniform title, title part of a work or series title associated with this author (used to co-locate by name/title combinations)
    <OtherInformation> contains any remaining data of importance from the LocatorPlus author information, including any suffix-like data not listed above in <Suffix>

    Collective or corportate name <Author> data resides in the following elements:
    <CollectiveName> contains the corporate name, jurisdiction, or meeting followed by the name(s) of any subordinate unit(s)

    <TitleAssociatedWithName> contains a uniform title, title part of a work or series title associated with this author (used to co-locate by name/title combinations)

    Every <AuthorList> for NLMCatalogRecord is considered to be complete (CompleteYN="Y" in all cases), regardless of the number of <Author> elements present.

    Example(s):
    <AuthorList CompleteYN="Y">

    Additional information/background:
    The contents of the <Initials> element is constructed from the data going to the <Forename> element. An individual initial is found at the beginning of the <Forename> string or following a break. A break is a space or hyphen. Only capital letters in <Forename> are candidates for initials except for the letter following a hyphen. The letter following a hyphen is a candidate for an initial unless the string following the hyphen is 'ichi'. If <Forename> is only initials, there will be spaces between initials. Initial includes the following particles: de, do, da, du, del, dos, el-, le and el. All except 'el-' are followed by a space and are preceded by a space or are at the beginning of the name string. If found, all particles will be converted to lower case in <Initials>. If language is Bulgarian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian (Roman), or Ukrainian, then <Initial> may be a 2-4 character transliterated mixed-case initial.

  12. <InvestigatorList>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Investigator>
    <LastName>
    <ForeName>
    <Initials>
    <Suffix>
    <Affiliation>
    Attributes: (none)

    <InvestigatorList> exists on NLMCatalogRecord citations created or maintained by one of NLM's collaborative partners, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It identifies the NASA-funded principal investigator(s) who conducted the research discussed in the work cited. An <Investigator> may or may not also be an <Author>.

    Data appears in a format similar to that used for author names in <AuthorList>, including <LastName>, <ForeName>, <Suffix>, and <Initials>. The <Investigator> element also contains <Affiliation>, the organization that the researcher was affiliated with at the time the work was written. Unlike <Affiliation> associated with <Abstract>, this affiliation does not include detailed address information.

    Like <AuthorList>, <InvestigatorList> is always complete. Unlike <AuthorList>, however, it has no attribute to indicate completeness.

    Example(s):
    <InvestigatorList>

    <Investigator>
    <LastName>Waligora</LastName>
    <ForeName>J M</ForeName>
    <Initials>JM</Initials>
    <Affiliation>JSC</Affiliation>
    </Investigator>

    <Investigator>
    <LastName>Horrigan</LastName>
    <ForeName>D J</ForeName>
    <Initials>DJ</Initials>
    <Suffix>Jr</Suffix>
    <Affiliation>JSC</Affiliation>
    </Investigator>

    </InvestigatorList>

    MARC 21 source: Field 700 when subfield $e contains "Investigator". NASA use only.

    The <PublicationInfo> envelope surrounds numerous elements containing data drawn from imprint and edition-related fields in the LocatorPlus record.

    <Country> and <PlaceCode> reflect the original place of publication; they do not change when if the place of publication changes over time. The values in <Country> are found in the MARC Country Code list, Part 1: Name List at http://www.loc.gov/marc/countries/cou_pt1names.html. The two or three-digit <PlaceCode> reflects the MARC Country code list, Part II: Code Sequence at http://www.loc.gov/marc/countries/cou_pt2codes.html.

    If the place of publication is unknown, the <PlaceCode> will contain "xx" (the code for unknown) but there will be no <Country>.

    If the place of publication is within the United States, the <PlaceCode> may contain a specific three-digit state code (such as "mdu" for Maryland) or the more generic "xxu" (meaning "United States, location not further specified"). In each case, however, <Country> will be United States.

    Provinces in Canada and the parts of the United Kingdom are handled similarly.

    The data from the Imprint Statement in LocatorPlus may appear multiple times, grouped collectively in <Imprint> and then parced (as accurately as reasonably possible) into separate elements <Place>, <Publisher>, and <DateIssued>.

    Additionally, if the work reflected by this <NLMCatalogRecord> is a journal, there may be separate occurrences of <Imprint> and its parts for both the original and current data.

    <ProjectedPublicationDate> gives the anticipated 2-digit year and 2-digit month of publication, as announced by the publisher. It exists only on records created at NLM at the pre-publication stage and is removed if/when NLM subsequently acquires and catalogs the material.

    <PublicationFirstYear> and <PublicationEndYear> each contains 4 characters; unknown digits are indicated with the letter 'u'.

    <PublicationFirstYear> will exist once on every record, unless the source bytes in the LocatorPlus record are totally blank (allowed only for B.C. publication dates).

    <PublicationEndYear>, also a four-character value, exists only under the following circumstances:

    <Issuance> is continuing. If the work is is still published ("open"), <PublicationEndYear> will be 9999.

    <Issuance> is monographic but publication occurred over a period of years. In this case, the <PublicationFirstYear> and <PublicationEndYear> will give the range of publication dates.

    <Issuance> is monographic but the single publication date is questionable. In this case, the <PublicationFirstYear> and <PublicationEndYear>; will give the range of possible publication dates.

    <Issuance> is monographic and the LocatorPlus record contains a reprint/reissue date in addition to the original publication date. This situation is identifiable by the fact that the value in <PublicationFirstYear> will be greater than the value in <PublicationEndYear>.

    <Edition> contains information relating to the edition of the work.

    <DatesOfSerialPublication> contains beginning and/or ending numeric, alphabetic and/or chronological designations of a serial.

    <Frequency> contains information about the frequency of publication of a serial. While only one current frequency is allow, the element is repeated once for each former frequency.

  17. <Language>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    <Language> contains the three-letter MARC 21 code for the language associated with the text or sound tract. If the work is in multiple languages, this element is repeated for each language. If the language is unknown, <Language> may be coded "und", meaning "Undetermined".

    The values in <Language> are found in the MARC Language Code list, Part II: Code Sequence at http://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/lang_pt2.html

    Example(s):
    <Language>dut</Language>

    MARC 21 source: Field 04l subfield $a

  18. <LanguageAlternate>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: LangType

    <LanguageAlternate> contains the three-letter MARC 21 code for the language associated with specific aspects of the work: an abstract, a table of contents, and/or the original language of a work in translation. The aspect is indicated by the LangType attribute. <LanguageAlternate> is repeated for multiple aspects and/or if any one of these aspects occurs in multiple languages.

    The values in <LanguageAlternate> are found in the MARC Language Code list, Part II: Code Sequence at http://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/lang_pt2.html.

  19. <PhysicalDescription>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Form>
    <Extent>
    <Runtime>
    <ChapterPgn>
    Attributes: (none)

    <PhysicalDescription> contains a physical description of the material reflected in this <NLMCatalogRecord>.

    <Form> contains either one the following values: electronic, braille, electronic, microfiche, microfilm; or it contains a textual note describing the file characteristics of a computer file. Both may occur on the same record (the element is repeatable).

    <Extent> contains extent and dimension as well as physical details of accompanying material. It is optional and repeatable as needed to describe multiple formats. For chapter records, <Extent> contains information which is duplicated in <ChapterPgn> (see below).

    <Runtime> gives the total running time in minutes (values between 001 and 999) of a motion picture, videorecording or similar visual resource. It is not repeatable.

    <ChapterPgn> exists on records for a chapter; it gives the inclusive page number range of a chapter within a larger work. Unlike in MEDLINE, the ending page number of page ranges given in LocatorPlus have been expanded to include the full number. (p. 417-427, not p. 417-27.)

  20. <Abstract>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <AbstractText>
    Attributes: (none)

    The <Abstract> element contains abstract material which was written by the author(s) of the bibliographic work. It is optional and repeatable. Compare to <OtherAbstract>, which contains abstracts which were written by other sources or are of uncertain origin. It is possible for a single record to contain both <Abstract> and <OtherAbstract>.

    Example(s):
    <Abstract>
    <AbstractText>NASA's Johnson Space Center Flight Data Systems personnel requested [...text removed for this example...] The approach and results of the KC-135 evaluations are discussed in detail.</AbstractText>
    </Abstract>

    <Abstract>
    <AbstractText>PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To summarise the current scientific knowledge on the causes, diagnosis and treatment of back pain. [...text removed for this example...] Prolonged bed rest or other significant motion restriction may have a harmful effect and, in uncomplicated cases, should be limited to a few days, or two weeks in cases with radiating pain to the lower arm or lower leg.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)</AbstractText>
    </Abstract>

    MARC 21 source: Field 520 when Indicator 1=3 or blank and subfield $9 contains "AUTHOR"

    Additional information/background:
    Due to historic data entry policies or limitations in source or NLM legacy systems, abstracts may be truncated. An indication of truncation is a phrase at the end of the abstract, enclosed in parentheses, which begins with the words ABSTRACT TRUNCATED.

  21. <Affiliation>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    When located at this position in the order of the XML, one level below the <NLMRecordCitation> envelope element, <Affiliation> exists only on records contributed to LocatorPlus by NASA. This occurrence of <Affiliation> gives the institutional affiliation of the first personal author listed on this record at the time the work was written and published.

    Example(s):
    <Affiliation>Lockheed Engineering and Sciences Company, USA.</Affiliation>

    <Affiliation>Department of Infectious Diseases, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.</Affiliation>

    <Affiliation>Institute of Biophysics, Academia Sinica, Beijing, People's Republic of China.</Affiliation>

    MARC 21 source: Field 700 subfield $u of first Author (not "Investigator"). NASA use only.

  22. <OtherAbstract>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <AbstractText>
    Attributes: Type

    The <OtherAbstract> element contains abstract material which was not written by the author(s) of the bibliographic work. It is optional and repeatable. Compare to <Abstract>, above.

    The Type attribute indicates the type of (non-author) abstract in the <OtherAbstract> element, i.e., the organization which provided the <OtherAbstract>.

    Example(s):
    <OtherAbstract Type="Producer">
    <AbstractText>(Producer) For maintaining health through the natural use of herbs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other substances. Covering over 100 herbs, discusses principal uses, with waring of side effects, aggravation of other conditions, and substances not to be taken with specific ones.</AbstractText>
    </OtherAbstract>
    <OtherAbstract Type="NTIS">
    <AbstractText>A method is presented to capture a 3D ultrasound volume from a series of 2D cross-sectional images [...text removed...] This technique is but a pilot forerunner of optical methods to be employed in a project whose goal is to achieve real-time interactive display of 3D ultrasound.</AbstractText>
    </OtherAbstract>

    MARC 21 source: Field 520 EXCEPT when that data qualifies as an <Abstract>.

  23. <ContentsNote>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    The <ContentsNote> element contains information about the contents of the work, such as chapters drawn from the table of contents, or the titles of separate parts/volumes contained within the larger bibliographic work. It may include a statement of responsibility for the separate parts.

    Example(s):
    <ContentsNote>The Anatomy of the inguinal region -- Clinical aspects.</ContentsNote>

    <ContentsNote>pt. 1. The differential diagnosis of acute renal failure.--pt. 2. The management of acute renal failure.</ContentsNote>

    <ContentsNote>Contents : v. 1. Complete dentures.--v. 2. Fixed partial dentures.--v. 3. Removable partial dentures.</ContentsNote>

    <ContentsNote>Contents (partial): "De' rimedii naturali d'Ischia": p. 7-274; "Tavoladelle infermitá": 38 unnumbered pages; "Aenariarum balnea ex Ioanne Elysio ... cum scholiis Io. Francisci Lombardi": p. 1-12. The "Aenariarum" has separate unnumbered half title page.</ContentsNote>

    MARC 21 source: Field 505

  24. <IndexingSourceList>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <IndexingSource>
    <IndexingSourceName>
    <Coverage>
    Attributes:
    with <IndexingSourceName>: IndexingTreatment, IndexingStatus

    <IndexingSourceList> is always complete; there is no attribute to indicate completeness.

    <IndexingSourceList> is used to specify the publications or databases in which a title has been indexed and/or abstracted, if known.

    Within the list, separate occurrences of <IndexingSource> are used to specify each <IndexingSourceName> and optionally, the range or period of <Coverage>. <IndexingSourceName> has two possible attributes but only IndexingTreatment is required. IndexingTreatment indicates the degree of completeness of the indexing coverage. IndexingStatus is optional and is only included with data for titles that are or once were indexed by NLM.

    For non-serial material held by NLM's History of Medicine Division (HMD), the <IndexingSourceList> contains a reference to a published description of that item in a standard source. All data is concatenated in <IndexingSourceName>; <Coverage> is not used for HMD materials.

    Example(s):
    <IndexingSourceList>
    <IndexingSource>
    <IndexingSourceName IndexingTreatment="ReferencedIn">Garrison-Morton (5th ed.) 4596.1</IndexingSourceName>
    </IndexingSource>
    </IndexingSourceList>

    <IndexingSourceList>
    <IndexingSource>

    MARC 21 source: Field 510

  25. <NLMIndexNote>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    <NLMIndexNote> contains historical information regarding a serial title's indexing by NLM for MEDLINE and/or Index Medicus. This data was retained from legacy NLM systems but is not currently entered or maintained in LocatorPlus.

    Example(s):
    <NLMIndexNote>Indexing Ceased With V6n3,1989.</NLMIndexNote>
    <NLMIndexNote>Indexed Selectively Until V62n1,Jan 1988.</NLMIndexNote>

  27. <LocalNote>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: LocalNoteType

  29. <MeshHeadingList>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <MeshHeading>
    <DescriptorName>
    <QualifierName>
    Attributes:
    with <DescriptorName>, <QualifierName>: MajorTopicYN

    NLM's controlled topical subject vocabulary, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®), is used to characterize the subject content of works in LocatorPlus. See http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html for information about MeSH.

    <MeshHeadingList> contains the MeSH headings assigned to a particular record. Some records lack MeSH, especially those with a Status of In-Process, Not-Our-Cataloging, or On-Order, but also some older records with a Status of Complete. <MeshHeadingList> is always complete; there is no attribute to indicate completeness.

    When MeSH subject headings are assigned to a record, those which represent the most significant topics are identified with the MajorTopic attribute set to Y for Yes. When used with MeSH, this attribute will be set in one of two ways, depending on whether one or more qualifiers (topical subheadings) has been assigned to a given descriptor (main heading):

    If a particular occurrence of <MeshHeading> contains only a <DescriptorName>, the MajorTopic attribute for <DescriptorName> is set to Y or N to indicate whether the MeSH heading alone (without a qualifier) is a central concept.

    If the occurrence of <MeshHeading> contains a <DescriptorName> and one or more occurrences of <QualifierName>, then the MajorTopic attribute for <DescriptorName> is always set to N. Whether the descriptor/qualifier combination is a central concept is indicated by the value of the MajorTopic attribute (Y or N) associated with each occurrence of <QualifierName>.

    Example(s):
    <MeshHeadingList>
    <MeshHeading>
    <DescriptorName MajorTopicYN="Y">Medicine</DescriptorName>
    </MeshHeading>

    <OtherInformation>
    <TitleAssociatedWithName>
    Attributes:
    with <OtherSubjectList>: Owner
    with <OtherSubjectName>: MajorTopicYN, SubjectType

    <OtherSubjectList> contains subject headings or information which do not qualify for inclusion in the elements <MeshHeadingList>, <PersonalNameSubjectList>, <SpaceFlightMission>, <Keyword> or <ChemicalList>.

    On records cataloged by NLM, the large majority of LocatorPlus data contained in <OtherSubjectList> are Corporate or Meeting names and Uniform titles used as subjects. On records owned by or shared with collaborative partners or the NLM Staff Library, the terms in <OtherSubjectList> may also be Library of Congress subject headings (LCSH), geographic terms not included in MeSH, or other special vocabulary not controlled in a way to qualify as a <Keyword>.

    <OtherSubjectList> is repeated for each owner. It is always complete; there is no attribute to indicate completeness.

    MARC 21 source: Various 6XX fields EXCEPT those in <MeshHeadingList>, <PersonalNameSubjectList>, <SpaceFlightMission>, <Keyword>, or <ChemicalList>.

  31. <SpaceFlightMission>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    <SpaceFlightMission> is used exclusively by the NLM collaborative partner NASA. This element contains the space flight mission name and/or number when results of research conducted in space are covered in a publication.

    Following the pattern established in the MEDLINE XML records, in cases where there are multiple space flight missions, a specific mission name is not directly linked to the descriptive values manned/unmanned or long/short duration, as they are in LocatorPlus. For records containing more than one Space Flight Mission name, see the Space Flight Mission Summary Table at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/space_flight.html that provides the manned/unmanned status and duration of each mission.

    Example(s):
    <SpaceFlightMission>Apollo Project</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Biosatellite Project</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Discoverer Project</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Long duration</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Manned</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Mercury Project</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Project Gemini (U.S.)</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Short duration</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Skylab Project</SpaceFlightMission>
    <SpaceFlightMission>Unmanned</SpaceFlightMission>

    MARC 21 source: Various 610, 630, 690 (LocatorPlus local field) which correspond to the values listed in the Space Flight Mission Summary Table (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/space_flight.html). NASA use only.

  32. <KeywordList>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Keyword>
    Attributes:
    with <KeywordList>: Owner
    with <Keyword>: MajorTopicYN

    <KeywordList> contains controlled terms in the <Keyword> element that are assigned by the collaborative partners KIE, NASA, and PIP. The list of controlled terms differs for each partner and is subject to change. When multiple collaborative partners have added keywords to a record, <KeywordList> is repeated for each owner. It is always complete; there is no attribute to indicate completeness.

    The default value for the attribute MajorTopicYN is "N". "Y" is only used when the source data in LocatorPlus carries an explicit distinction between primary and secondary importance.

    Example(s):
    <KeywordList Owner="KIE">
    <Keyword MajorTopicYN="Y">Genetic Services</Keyword>
    <Keyword MajorTopicYN="Y">International Aspects</Keyword>
    <Keyword MajorTopicYN="N">Genetics and Reproduction</Keyword>

    Additional ("child") elements:
    <Chemical>
    <RegistryNumber>
    <NameOfSubstance>
    Attributes: (none)

    <ChemicalList> is used by the NLM collaborative partner NASA to record one or more <Chemical> elements. The element <Chemical> has the subelements <RegistryNumber> and <NameOfSubstance>. <ChemicalList> is always complete; there is no attribute to indicate completeness.

    <RegistryNumber> contains the unique five to nine digit number in hyphenated format assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service to specific chemical substances; for enzymes, the E.C. number derived from Enzyme Nomenclature is placed in this element. A zero (0) is a valid value when an actual number cannot be located or is not yet available.

    <NameOfSubstance> is the name of the substance that the registry number or the E.C. number identifies. The MeSH Vocabulary database that contains all <NameOfSubstance> values with their descriptions may be downloaded from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh.

    Example(s):
    <ChemicalList>

  35. <Classification>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: NLMCallNumberYN, Authority, CallNumberType

    <Classification> contains information about the classification and/or call numbers assigned to the material. The element is repeatable as needed and contains no subordinate elements but has three Attributes:

    "NLMCallNumberYN" indicates whether the data in this occurrence of <Classification> can be used to locate or request the material at NLM

    "Authority" indicates the organization ("NLM", a collaborative partner, or "Other") assigning the number.

    "CallNumberType" indicates whether the call number type is based on the NLM Classification ("NLMClass"), the shelving number scheme used at NLM ("Shelving Number") or some other unspecified system ("Other")

    Note that in order for material to be obtainable from NLM with particular <Classification> information, that occurrence of <Classification> must have "NLMCallNumberYN" value of "Y" and an "Authority" of "NLM".

    Example(s):
    <Classification NLMCallNumberYN="Y" Authority="NLM" CallNumberType="ShelvingNumber">HF1634</Classification>

  39. <LCCN>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: ValidYN

    <LCCN> contains a unique alpha-numeric identifier ("Control Number") assigned to the material by the Library of Congress. Valid LCCNs have the attribute "ValidYN" set to "Y", and only one occurrence of <LCCN> with ValidYN="Y" should occur per record. By contrast, LCCNs known to be cancelled or invalid have the attribute "ValidYN" set to "N"; and with this attribute setting, the <LCCN> element is repeatable.

    Example(s):
    <LCCN ValidYN="Y">40-33754</LCCN>

    <LCCN ValidYN="Y">74626513</LCCN>

    <LCCN ValidYN="Y">2001023260</LCCN>

    MARC 21 source: Field 010

  40. <ISBN>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: ValidYN

    <ISBN> contains an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and qualifying descriptive information about edition, such as bindings, paper quality, and/or volume numbers of a multi-volume monographic set. <ISBN> is repeated with ValidYN set to "Y" when there are multiple ISSNs that refer to different editions.

    Occurrence of <ISBN> containing ISBNs known to be cancelled or invalid have the attribute "ValidYN" set to "N". If the correct ISBN is not known--usually because an ISBN known to be invalid was found to be printed in error on the item-the only an occurrence of <ISBN> on the record will be one with ValidYN="N".

    Example(s):
    <ISBN ValidYN="Y">0534575730</ISBN>

    <ISBN ValidYN="Y">007063369X (alk. paper)</ISBN>

    <ISBN ValidYN="Y">354065920X (softcover : alk. paper)</ISBN>

    MARC 21 source: Field 020

  41. <ISSN>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: ValidYN, IssnType

    <ISSN> contains the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) , a unique 8-character alpha-numeric identifier assigned to a serial by an authoritative ISSN Network center.

    Not all serials contain an <ISSN> because ISSNs have not been assigned to all serial titles.

    In some cases, there will be more than one valid <ISSN> because the serial is published in both print and electronic forms. When the "ValidYN" attribute is set to "Y", the attribute "IssnType" will be set to either "Print" or "Electronic" to distinguish which ISSN value applies to which form.

    Occurrences of <ISSN> which contain ISSNs known to be cancelled or invalid have the "ValidYN" attribute set to "N" and the "IssnType" attribute set to "Undetermined". There may be instances in which the only ISSN is invalid.

    Example(s):
    <ISSN ValidYN="Y" IssnType="Print">1053-1459</ISSN>
    <ISSN ValidYN="Y" IssnType="Print">0272-541X</ISSN>

    <ISSN ValidYN="Y" IssnType="Print">0022-538X</ISSN>
    <ISSN ValidYN="Y" IssnType="Electronic">1098-5514</ISSN>

    <ISSN ValidYN="Y" IssnType="Print">1054-6456</ISSN>
    <ISSN ValidYN="N" IssnType="Undetermined">0740-0101</ISSN>

    MARC 21 source: Field 022

  42. <ISSNLinking>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: ValidYN

    Occurrences of <ISSNLinking> which contain ISSNs known to be cancelled or invalid have the "ValidYN" attribute set to "N".

    The <ISSNLinking> element contains the ISSN designated by the ISSN Network to enable collocation or linking among the different media versions of a continuing resource. The first ISSN assigned to any medium version of a continuing resource shall also be designated to function as the linking ISSN (aka ISSN-L) and shall apply to all other media versions of that resource.

    MARC 21 source: Field 022

  43. <NCBIIssnAlias>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    <NCBIIssnAlias> contains an 8-character International Standard Serials Number (ISSN) used by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at NLM. NCBI ISSN aliases are used in NCBI databases. Since the identifiers in <NCBIIssnAlias> are not deduped against those in <ISSN>, the same values may appear in both places.

    Example(s):
    <NCBIIssnAlias>0749-8063</NCBIIssnAlias>

    <NCBIIssnAlias>1526-3231</NCBIIssnAlias>

    MARC 21 source: Field 922 (LocatorPlus local field. NCBI only)

  44. <STRN>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    <STRN> contains a Standard Technical Report Number (STRN) formulated according to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or International Standards Organizations (ISO) standards for numbers assigned to technical reports.

    All occurrences of <STRN> are considered to be valid; the "ValidYN" attribute is not used for this element.

    Example(s):
    <STRN>DOT HS 808 641</STRN>

    <STRN>RAND/DRU-1885-AHCPR</STRN>

    MARC 21 source: Field 027

  45. <Coden>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: (none)

    <Coden> contains the CODEN designation, a six-character unique identifier for scientific and technical journal titles.

    All occurrences of <Coden> are considered to be valid; the "ValidYN" attribute is not used for this element.

    Example(s):
    <Coden>OFISAD</Coden>

    <Coden>JOVIAM</Coden>

    <Coden>ARTHE3</Coden>

    MARC 21 source: Field 030

  46. <OtherID>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: Prefix, Source

    <OtherID> contains identifying numbers which link a LocatorPlus record to its precursor record in an NLM legacy system, an NLM collaborative partner's database, or the WorldCat database at OCLC (Online Computer Library Center, Dublin OH).

    The attribute Prefix contains the organization code from the MARC field 003 of the incoming MARC source record that was loaded into LocatorPlus. When the record was loaded, this Prefix was moved to the head of the MARC 035 field and is in parentheses. Because of the multitude of possible organization codes, their changing nature and their lack of mnemonic content, no controlled list of values has been established for this attribute.

    The attribute Source also identifies the organization which held the source record at the time it was loaded into LocatorPlus, but in a form which is more user-friendly and is controlled by a list of attribute values. If Source="NLM" and the value in <OtherID> ends in (s), this is a SEQ (sequence number) from NLM's legacy Serials Record System. Other values for the Source attribute are collaborative partners and OCLC.

    Since some records are created as new records in LocatorPlus or come from sources which are not recorded, <OtherID> may not be present on all records. Conversely, it is possible for a record to have more than one <OtherID>.

    Example(s):
    <OtherID Prefix="(DNLM)" Source="NLM">SR0003345(s)</OtherID>

    <OtherID Prefix="(DNLM)" Source="NLM">J41260000(s)</OtherID>

    <OtherID Prefix="(OCoLC)" Source="OCLC">01783311</OtherID>

    <OtherID Prefix="(OCoLC)" Source="OCLC">49759873</OtherID>

    <OtherID Prefix="(DNLM)" Source="CIT">13461</OtherID>

    <OtherID Prefix="(DNLM)" Source="HSR">HSTAR:94904932</OtherID>

    <OtherID Prefix="(DNLM)" Source="KIE">KIE:16686</OtherID>

    <OtherID Prefix="(DNLM)" Source="NASA">NASA:98617062</OtherID>

    <OtherID Prefix="(DNLM)" Source="PIP">PIP:00005171</OtherID>

    MARC 21 source: Field 035 when Source is NLM "SEQ" (pre-LocatorPlus NLM identifier), NLM collaborative partner, or OCLC

  47. <AcquisitionInfoList>
    Additional ("child") elements:
    <AcquisitionInfo>
    <StockNumber>
    <AcquisitionSource>
    Attributes: (none)

    <AcquisitionSourceList> contains source information about the material described in this record. <AcquisitionInfoList> is always complete; there is no attribute to indicate completeness.

    The repeatable element <AcquisitionInfo> in turn contains two elements, <StockNumber> and <AcquistionSource>. <StockNumber> is used for alpha-numeric stock numbers, whereas <AcquisitionSource> contains free-text information, usually a supplier name and address.

    NLM collaborative partners use <AcquisitionInfoList> to record National Technical Information Service (NTIS) data for publications the collaborative partners have cataloged in LocatorPlus.

    Example(s):
    <AcquisitionInfoList>
    <AcquisitionInfo>
    <AcquisitionSource>Medical Economics, 5 Paragon Drive, Montvale, NJ 07645</AcquisitionSource>
    </AcquisitionInfo>
    </AcquisitionInfoList>

    <AcquisitionInfoList>
    <AcquisitionInfo>
    <StockNumber>N86-19906</StockNumber>
    <AcquisitionSource>NTIS, Springfield, VA</AcquisitionSource>
    </AcquisitionInfo>
    </AcquisitionInfoList>

    <AcquisitionInfoList>
    <AcquisitionInfo>
    <StockNumber>PB92-129881</StockNumber>
    <AcquisitionSource>NTIS</AcquisitionSource>
    </AcquisitionInfo>
    </AcquisitionInfoList>

    MARC 21 source: Field 037

  48. <ReportNumber>
    Additional ("child") elements: (none)
    Attributes: ValidYN

    <ReportNumber> contains a report number that is not a Standard Technical Report Number (STRN). Within LocatorPlus, <ReportNumber> is used to record report numbers and the Secondary Source Identifiers established by the collaborative partners NASA and PIP.

    Occurrences of <ReportNumber> known to be cancelled or invalid have the attribute "ValidYN" set to "N".

    Example(s):
    <ReportNumber ValidYN="Y">EPA 747-R-94-003</ReportNumber>

    <ReportNumber ValidYN="Y">68-D2-0139</ReportNumber>

    <ReportNumber ValidYN="Y">DOT/FAA/AM-98/25</ReportNumber>

    <ReportNumber ValidYN="Y">CPFH 05588cr976</ReportNumber>

    <ReportNumber ValidYN="Y">PIP 670301</ReportNumber>

    <ReportNumber ValidYN="Y">IND 8025336</ReportNumber>

    <ReportNumber ValidYN="Y">NASA 00007057</ReportNumber>

    <ReportNumber ValidYN="N">NASA-TN-D-8008</ReportNumber>

    MARC 21 source: Field 088

    Additional information/background: NASA continues to add these to new records where they function as accession numbers. CPFH, IND and PIP occur on records converted into LocatorPlus from Popline; no new Popline records are being added.

TOP ELEMENT for notification about deleted Catalog Records: <DeleteCatalogRecord>

Additional ("child") elements:
<NLMUniqueID> See 1, above.
