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/

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:
