In February, 1995, OCLC implemented the first phase of format integration. Format integration validates all data elements, formerly only valid in certain formats (for ex. books or serials formats), for all formats. For example, fields that were once only valid for use in the serials format may now be used in the audiovisual format and vice versa. Phase 1 completes changes to the variable fields only. It does not require any changes to descriptive cataloging policies or procedures. It affects only a few tagging conventions that apply to artifact cataloging. Format integration offers a valuable benefit to artifact catalogers by allowing the use of fields, previously only valid for use in other formats, but which may apply to object cataloging.
