Title: 710 - Added Entry - Corporate Name (R)
Information:

The Added Entry - Corporate Name (710 tag) of the 
MARC 21 bibliographic record contains a name 
heading for the corporate body or performing group 
responsible for the work or some portion of the 
work. In a catalog record, one access point is 
chosen as the main entry heading. This can be 
either a name or a title of a work. When the main 
entry is a corporate name heading, the corporate 
name is entered in the 110 tag. The corporate name 
in a 710 tag is not considered the main entry; 
however, access to the corporate name is an 
additional way to search for the work. These 
corporate names include editors, compilers, joint 
authors, illustrators, translators, and other 
corporate names that a library user may use to 
search for a work. Each corporate name is entered 
in a separate 710 tag. 

AACR2 covers main and added entries in chapter 21,
"Choice of Access Points". Chapter 24, "Headings 
for Corporate Bodies", covers the construction of 
corporate names in AACR2 form. 

RDA provides guidelines on identifying corporate 
bodies in Chapter 11.

Thirteen subfields may be used in the 710 tag. Some 
of these subfields are used only with the corporate 
name portion of the tag. Others are used only with 
a title of a work which is associated with the 
corporate name. Note, however, that subfield n can 
be used both for the number of a meeting (in the 
name portion) and for the number of a part or 
section of a work (in the title portion). 

Subfield a of the 710 tag usually contains the 
corporate name in direct order or the name of a 
jurisdiction (country, state, etc.). Older record 
may contain corporate names in inverted order. 
Subfield b contains a subdivision of a corporate 
body. Subfield b may be repeated to show levels of 
hierarchy in an organization. Subfields c, d, and n 
contain information about the location, date, and 
number of meetings of a corporate body, such as, 
sessions of legislative bodies or annual meetings 
of corporations and organizations. Subfield e 
contains a relator term for the function of the 
corporate body in producing the work. Usually only 
the term ill. for illustrator is used in this 
subfield. 

Subfield t contains the title of a work associated 
with the corporate name in subfield a. Additional 
subfields that may be used to further define the 
identity of a work are: f (date of work), h (medium 
of work), l (language of a work), n (number of 
part/section of a work), p (name of a part/section 
of a work), and s (version). 

Subfield k (form subheading) may appear after 
subfield t with the terms selections, manuscripts, 
or protocols, etc. The subfield may also be used 
after the name of governmental jurisdictions with 
the terms treaties, etc. or laws, etc.
