Hello all,

I'm new to the list and have a question concerning cataloguing in Koha (version 3.16.04).
It pertains to the MARC fields 110/111 or 710/711 respectively. All of them have the First Indicator in common, which is defined as follows:

First Indicator
Type of corporate name entry element
0 - Inverted name
1 - Jurisdiction name
2 - Name in direct order
(see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd110.html)

The LOC examples did not help much to interpret the meaning of the first indicator. Can somebody shed light on how to understand the numbers' descriptions and when to choose which number?
I'd be grateful for examples as well.

Thank you!
Diana Haderup
