pOverview

Series C consists entirely of maps. The bibliographic information themselves are structured on the basis of DDC Subject Categories. The subject categories included are also saved as bookmarks in the PDF file to make the Nationalbibliografie easier to navigate. Individual elements of multi-part publications are listed in their own subject category provided they have one; otherwise, they are listed in the same subject category as the complete work. Titles are arranged in alphabetical order within each subject category.

Titles have been described using the Resource Description and Access (RDA) framework since October 2015. These descriptions are based on the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD).

Examples of bibliographic information

At the end of the bibliographic record, the prefix “SW:” is followed in lower-case italics by the subject headings that have been assigned in accordance with the most recently updated Regeln für die Schlagwortkatalogisierung (German rules for cataloguing by subject heading (RSWK) and linked to form one or more sequences.

The elements in each subject heading sequence are separated by semi-colons. The individual subject headings match the controlled terminology in the vocabulary used in the Integrated Authority File (GND). If a document has to be catalogued using two or more subject heading sequences, these are written consecutively and only separated by the character ¤.
