Re: Linked Data URIs in MARC Authorities

Jeff,

The 1xx$0 is actually used in bib records (not authority) and is defined as:
$0 - Authority record control number (R)

http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd100.html

It seems applicable, but the context it would be used in would sort of
imply the opposite meaning than what it does in bibliographic records.
