<p class="MsoNormal">We code as $5 (NjP) 655 entries (and the accompanying 500 field notes) that refer to aspects at the item level – or “copy specific” in bibliographicese. These are generally unique to the copy at hand. The exception among the RBMS thesauri
would be terms from the Genre thesaurus terms, which apply more broadly to the work. I’d be interested in what others do in this regard too.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In that general connection, I’d also be interested to know how others are generally using sub-field divisions Form/Genre terms. I seem to recall from MidWinter that many were subdividing chronologically only by century. Is that an accurate
recollection? I’d also be interested in if/how others might be subdividing 655 terms geographically, and if so at what level”: city, state/province/county, or country? If geographic aspects (inscriptions or bookseller tickets, for instance) can be reasonably
identified with a location, that is.</p>

<span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro",serif">In a 2018 report on a MARC-to-BIBFRAME data conversion executed by Casalini for Yale, a Yale TF had this to say about the 655 field:</span></p>
<p class="x_x_xmsonormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">

… Conversion of the 655 field clashes with the ambiguity inherent in MARC bibliographic records; this field could map to work, instance, or item properties. To overcome MARC’s ambiguity in such fields, a converter would have to employ pattern recognition that
goes beyond the MARC encoding: for example, treating all 655 fields with the value “rbprov” in subfield $2 as bf:genreForm with a domain of bf:Item. This might add considerable complexity to the conversion specification, but without this upfront complexity,
the outcome will be one of diminished discovery. …</p>
