The 100 field
for the author in our example bib record also contains a third URI in a
subfield $4.
As stated in
an earlier post, URIs may now be used in subfield $4 to link to records that
provide information about the relationship/relator codes that catalogers have
been using for a while in this subfield.
The URI in
the second subfield $4 of this example:
$4 http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut
links to the
record below from the Library of Congress’ Linked Data Service (https://id.loc.gov/) which describes the relator, “author”
(represented by the code “aut” in the first subfield $4):
author
- A person, family, or organization responsible
for creating a work that is primarily textual in content, regardless of
media type (e.g., printed text, spoken word, electronic text, tactile
text) or genre (e.g., poems, novels, screenplays, blogs). Use also for
persons, etc., creating a new work by paraphrasing, rewriting, or adapting
works by another creator such that the modification has substantially
changed the nature and content of the original or changed the medium of
expression.

URIs in
subfield $0 might also point to records describing other types of controlled
terms used in cataloging. For example, the URI for content type from the
Library of Congress’ Linked Data Service (https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/contentTypes/sti.html) would be entered in the subfield $0
of a 336 field:
336 field
from MARC record:
336 $a text $b txt $2 rdacontent $0 http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/contentTypes/txt
Record linked
to by URI in the subfield $0 describing the controlled term “text”:

In the next and final post of this series, you’ll find a
list of resources that you can use to learn more about linked data and URIs in
MARC records. This is the sixth in a series of seven weekly blog posts written by Zahra Gordon, the NHSL Cataloger, which will explain “Linked Data,”
an emerging topic in the library field, and how it relates to “Uniform
Resource Identifiers (URIs),” which are appearing in subfields of MARC
records with increasing frequency.
The SE-B van route is cancelled today [Thursday, June 4] due to illness. Affected libraries are as follows:
Auburn
Windham
Pelham
Salem
Derry
Londonderry
Hudson
Nashua
Milford
Amherst
Merrimack
Bedford
Manchester
Thank you for your understanding.

From the NHAIS Help Desk mailbox:
Would it be possible to have the “Date:” on the printout reflect the actual day it will go out on the van? I change the shipping date in the request and try to remember to leave a note in the lending library request box, but the shipping date always reflects the current date, not the actual date of the van pick up.
While most of what you see on the shipping labels is drawn from the request record (what you see on the Borrower's or Lender's Full Record Display pages), the date isn't. It's not the Request Date, Due Date, Date Shipped, Need by Date, Date Received, Date Returned, Date Checked In, or Respond by Date--all of which can appear in the request record depending on the request’s status. The date you see on shipping labels simply reflects the day the Format to Print button was used to display and (presumably) print the labels. Changing that to Date Shipped is not an option but you're welcome to write whatever else you want on shipping labels.
Our example record from last week also includes a URI entered in a subfield $1 
When you searched on the URI in the subfield $0, you were brought to an authority record for the name “Colin Murphy.” When you search on the URI found in the subfield $1, on the other hand, you’re brought to a description of the person behind this name:
Murphy, Colin (Journalist)
- URI(s)
- Is Identified By Authority
o
Associated
Locale: Ireland
Field Of Activity
- Instance Of
- Alternate Formats
Some of the fields found in this record are the same as those found in his authority record (such as “Occupation”). However, notice that the “Sources” listed in the authority record from the last post (which appear in 670 fields in the traditional authority record) don’t appear. The sources consulted by a cataloger to establish the authorized form of Colin Murphy’s name are important information to include in an authority record describing his name, but not in the “Real World Object” (RWO) record describing the person behind the name.
One other thing to note about these two types of records is that they have fields with links that refer to each other. The authority record has an “Identifies RWO” field with a URI pointing to the “real world object” record for the person Colin Murphy, and the “real world object” record has an “Is Identified By Authority” field with a URI pointing to the authority record for his name:
Murphy, Colin (Journalist)
- URI(s)
- Identifies LC/NAF RWO
Murphy, Colin (Journalist)
- URI(s)
- Is Identified By Authority
In the next post, we’ll look at the third type of URI in the example bib record, a link to a record for a “Relationship” term located in a subfield $4.
This is the fifth in a series of seven weekly blog posts written by Zahra Gordon, the NHSL Cataloger, which will explain “Linked Data,”
an emerging topic in the library field, and how it relates to “Uniform
Resource Identifiers (URIs),” which are appearing in subfields of MARC
records with increasing frequency.
Due to driver availability, today’s [Thursday, May 28] SW ILL van route is cancelled, and tomorrow’s SW-A route will be modified/shortened.
The following libraries will get a delivery tomorrow (Friday, May 29).
• New London
• Newport
