Definition​

This area (Area 3) is specifically designed to contain data unique to a particular class of material or type of resource. It groups together specific elements for cartographic resources, notated music, serials, and unpublished resources.

Required Elements​

The elements in this area are material-specific:

  • Mathematical data (Cartographic resources) (Mandatory if applicable): Includes statement of scale, projection, coordinates, celestial hemisphere, epoch, equinox, and magnitude. (Further detailed in "Mathematical Data Area Encoding Scheme").
  • Music format statement (Notated music) (Mandatory if available): A term describing the physical form of presentation of notated music (e.g., "Full score," "Parts"). (Further detailed in "Music Format Statement Area Encoding Scheme").
  • Numbering (Serials) (Mandatory if available): Numeric and/or chronological designations of the first and/or last issues or parts of a serial. (Further detailed in "Numbering Area Encoding Scheme").
  • Unpublished statement (Optional): A term or phrase indicating the category, nature, or production method of an unpublished resource (e.g., "Master tape," "[Manuscript]"). This element was introduced in the 2021 Update to extend ISBD's coverage.

Punctuation Rules​

The punctuation patterns are specific to each type of material and are set out within their respective sub-sections. The area as a whole is preceded by . —. If repeated, each repetition is preceded by . —.

Relationship to ISBD Standards​

Identified as Area 3, this area allows for specialized descriptive data tailored to different resource types, promoting granular description and harmonization.

Relationship to Other SES​

  • It contains distinct encoding schemes for "Mathematical Data," "Music Format Statement," and "Numbering" for specific material types.
  • Physical details of materials described here (like the actual pages of a score or the dimensions of an unpublished manuscript) are often provided in the Material Description Area (Area 5).
  • Notes on this area, providing additional mathematical or numbering details, are found in the Note Area (Area 7).

Examples​

. — Scale 1:250 000 ; universal transverse Mercator proj. (Cartographic)

. — Full score (Notated Music)

. — Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1971)– (Serials)

. — Master tape (Unpublished)
