CVRMC). RBMS CVRMC is a linked data thesaurus that combines the former RBMS Thesauri (Genre, Binding, Type, Printing and Publishing, Paper, and Provenance) into a single resource with a redesigned structure. It is hosted by the Library of Congress Linked Data
Service at<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"BellMT",serif"><a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/omreCpYoynioJ4lHDf62p?domain=nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC">https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/rbmscv.html</span></a></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">.
The RBMS Relationship Designators have also been migrated to LC LDS and can be found at<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"BellMT",serif"><a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/RTMxCrkqApiZzQNHyxzHZ?domain=nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC">https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/rbmsrel.html</span></a></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">.
When using terms from RBMS CVRMC in a MARC record, the new code is $2 rbmscv. The six former thesauri are now officially deprecated.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

We approved the policy to not allow subdivisions for the new thesaurus back in 2019, and we continue to
support that decision. We understand that several institutions make heavy use of the terms that were specifically intended for subdivision, especially Typefaces. CVEG never maintained authorized subdivisions for any of those terms, so there was no standardization
or control coming from RBMS. Any control of subdivisions happening within a given institution is being done by that institution, and that work can continue going forward, using $2 local instead of an RBMS code.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hierarchical view.
