190 MAIN BODY / SESSION - Local
 
 

Tag 190 contains two types of information recorded separately in subfields $b and $c.

$b - the value of the Series Symbol field (tag 690) stripped of brackets. Used for sorting purposes and for producing a heading in a publication.

The symbol of the series separated into its component parts by slashes. Component parts not printed on the document are supplied for purposes of sorting a body within its hierarchical structure.

$c - identification of the session number or year of a UN body, for creating a link with the documents file for purposes of supplying heading and table of contents entries for the 91ÇÑ×Ó Documents Index. Recorded in standardized form as established by the agency.

Alphabetic codes may follow the session number or year to specify the type of session, e.g.: org for "organizational session" (-0 is used for organizational sessions of series symbol E/); -A for "annual session" (used with series symbol DP/); -S for "substantive session"; sp for "special session"; emsp for "emergency special session"; inf for "informal session".

Subfield $c is required for a document with sessional information.


Examples:

190 $b A/WGAP/
690 $a [A/]WGAP/

190 $b E/ECE/TRANS/WP.30/
690 $a [E/ECE/]TRANS/WP.30/

190 $b ST/DPI/
690 $a [ST/]DPI/

190 $b UNTSO/
690 $a [UNTSO/]


Sessional records do not contain Series Symbol tag 690:

190 $b TD/B/ $c 3sp
[3rd special session]

190 $b A/ $c 10emsp
[10th emergency special session]

190 $b CD/ $c 2004

190 $b E/ $c 2000-0

When different meetings under the same series symbol are held during the same year, they are differentiated by a number following the year and a hyphen:


190 $b E/ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.1/ $c 2008-1
190 $b E/ECE/TRANS/WP.15/AC.1/ $c 2008-2
[Meetings of the same body held in different venues and on different dates in 2008]


When a conference is held in several parts over a number of years, the year of the first part is followed by a hyphen and the number of the part. An entry is also made for the conference as a whole:


190 $b TD/RUBBER.2/ $c 1985
[UN Rubber Conference held 1985-1987]

190 $b TD/RUBBER.2/ $c 1985-1
[1st part of UN Rubber Conference, held in 1985]

190 $b TD/RUBBER.2/ $c 1985-2
[2nd part of UN Rubber Conference, held in 1986]
