Authority-controlled field.
When the subject of a work is a corporate body, the authorized form of the
name as found in the UNBIS Name Authority File is entered in 610 $a. In case of
more than one corporate name subject, each is entered in a separate 610 field.
If an UNBIS authority record for a corporate name does not exist, a new authority
record is created.
Examples:
610 27 $a Association of Tin Producing Countries
610 27 $a Green Earth Foundation (Ghana)
610 27 $a IBRD
610 27 $a Institute of Water Studies (Madras, India)
610 17 $a New Zealand. Parliamentary Commissioner for the
Environment
610 27 $a African Union. Assembly of Heads of State
and Government (1st : 2002 : Durban, South Africa)
610 27 $a UN. Security Council Mission to
West Africa, 2003
610 27 $a UNCTAD (11th sess. : 2004 : São Paulo,
Brazil)
For sessional or annual reports of Ãå±±½ûµØbodies, the same corporate name entered in
field 710 should also be
entered in field 610.
The first repeat of tag 610 should
always be the corporate subject heading for the body, with its sessional
qualifiers.
Example:
191 TD/B/55/10
245 10 $a Report of the Trade and Development
Board on its 55th session, held at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, from 15 to
26 September 2008 : $b report to the United Nations General Assembly

Certain modifying terms of an administrative, organizational or procedural
nature may be entered in subfield $g of 610 tags in order to create
pre-coordinated corporate subjects. Every pre-coordinated corporate
subject is authority-controlled. The modifying terms permit greater
specificity, which is especially important with regard to materials about
Ãå±±½ûµØcorporate bodies.

The term History was added to
the List of Modifying Terms in November 2008. Prior to that time, items
concerning history of organizations were indexed with the modifying term Activities followed by the range of
years starting with the organization’s creation, and/or the Thesaurus term HISTORY in tag 650.
Indexers should be attentive to logical and appropriate linkage of
modifiers with corporate subject headings that include sessional qualifiers.
Some of the modifiers may be used with corporate subject headings that
include sessional qualifiers, while others should generally be used only with
corporate subject headings without sessional qualifiers. For example,
the coordinating term Members should be used in tag 610 corporate
subject headings without sessional qualifiers, while the term Participants would be used either in a corporate subject
heading with sessional qualifiers for a document concerning members
participating in a specific session or meeting, or in a corporate subject
heading without sessional qualifiers for a document discussing the issue of
participation at sessions of a body in general.
Modifiers that are normally only assigned to corporate subject headings without
sessional qualifiers: Accounts, Activities, Administration, Budget, Budget
contributions, Buildings management, Calendar of meetings, Dissolution,
Establishment, Financing, History, Medium-term plan, Members, Organizational
reform, Organizational structure, Personnel questions, Programme management,
Rules of procedure, Staff composition, Work programme.
Modifiers that may be assigned to corporate subject headings either with
sessional qualifiers (if reference to specific session or meeting) or without sessional qualifiers (if reference to the body in general), as appropriate: Agenda,
Financing, General debate, Officers, Participants, Recommendations, Resolutions
and decisions, Work organization.
The only modifying terms that should be assigned to corporate subject
headings for individual officer-holders or mandate-holders (special
rapporteurs, representatives, experts, etc.) are Recommendations and Terms
of reference:
610 $a UN. Human Rights Council. Special
Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief $g Recommendations
610 $a Ãå±±½ûµØHigh Commissioner for Refugees $g
Terms of reference
While the modifying term Activities
is normally only assigned to corporate subject headings that do not
have session or year qualifiers, and must be followed by a year or range of
years between parentheses, an exception is made for documents of the Security
Council. The modifying term Activities may
be linked with the corporate subject heading for a year of the Security Council
and followed by a specific month and year:
610 $a UN. Security Council (62nd
year : 2007) $g Activities (Dec. 2007)
In the case of several of the modifying terms (Budget, Calendar of
meetings, Rules of procedure, Terms of reference, Work programme),
corresponding Content Codes (tag 089) should also be assigned if actual
text of a budget, calendar of meetings, etc., is contained in a document.
Examples of pre-coordinated corporate subjects:
610 27 $a UN. Security Council (58th year : 2003)
$g Resolutions and decisions
610 27 $a Ãå±±½ûµØUniversity
$g Accounts (2000-2001)

$g Recommendations
610 27 $a UN. ESCAP
$g Budget (2004-2005)
Modifiers used in 610 subfield $g field should
not be repeated in 650 tags in
the same bibliographic record.
For certain types of Ãå±±½ûµØdocuments (e.g. documents consisting entirely
of agendas, lists of participants, calendars of meetings, rules of procedure) it
is not necessary to add any 650 tags (topical subjects) in addition to the
pre-coordinated corporate subject. In other cases, additional subjects might
be recorded in 650 tags, depending on the contents of the document.
Examples:
610 27 $a UN. General Assembly (58th sess. : 2003-2004)
$g Participants
[no 650 topical subjects required if the document consists
entirely of a list of participants]
610 27 $a UN. ECE $g
Calendar of meetings (2003-2004)
[no 650 topical subjects required if the document consists
entirely of a calendar of meetings]
610 27 $a UN. Commission on Human Rights (59th sess. : 2003 : Geneva)
$g Agenda
[no 650 topical subjects required if the document consists
entirely of an agenda]
