==1.1 Purpose and Scope==
The purposes of the ''UNIMARC Holdings Format '' are to facilitate the reporting of holdings data at
national or international level and promote consistency in the communication of holdings information
and location of an item.
The scope of the ''UNIMARC Holdings Format '' is to specify, in separate holdings records linked to the
bibliographic records, the content designators (tags, indicators and subfields codes) to be assigned to
holdings and to specify the logical and physical format of the records. It provides information related
in the holdings record according to the usage of the cataloguing agency.
The cataloguing agency may decide to use bibliographic fields in a ''UNIMARC Holdings Format''
record to record copy-specific information, instead of recording this information in a bibliographic
format record. Thus, certain fields from the [[UNIMARC для бібліографічних записів|UNIMARC Bibliographic Format ]] are validated in the
UNIMARC Holdings Format, allowing institutions to put the data in either format record, using the
same field numbers and same field contents.
