Policy and formulation

• Record the VIAF ID for personal and corporate names available. If the same entity is or might be spread over separable headings, record each ID number in a separate 024
• Record standard identifiers from MARC-approved sources if they are easily available.

Note: All digital object identifier (doi) numbers begin with a 10 and contain a prefix and a suffix separated by a slash
