Description Phil Ringnalda 2023-03-21 19:56:59 UTC
In an authority record, 008/14 = 'a' says it's appropriate for use as a main or added entry (1xx, 7xx), 008/15 = 'a' says it's appropriate for use as a subject entry, and 008/16 = 'a' says it's appropriate for use as a series entry (800-830, 440 since we still support it).

In a world where we support multiple subject thesauri, we need a way to tell the difference between a name entry which intends to be used as a main entry and one which intends to only be used as a subject authority, and the way the subject-only one should say that is by having 008/14 = 'b'
Comment 1 Phil Ringnalda 2023-03-22 02:02:49 UTC
Using 008/16 would be a bit more trouble since AutoCreateAuthorities has never bothered setting it since we've never used it, but we already need to teach it new lessons for bug 31925 too.
Comment 2 Phil Ringnalda 2024-03-05 15:57:44 UTC
But we do have the virtually unused LinkerOptions to let people opt in.
