Note: In UNBIS, MARC tags 150 (TOPICAL TERM) and 151 (GEOGRAPHIC NAME) are combined in one field. Names of countries and major geographical regions are incorporated into the UNBIS Thesaurus and are treated as topical terms but are coded, by virtue of the first indicator (9), as geographical terms.
All other geographic names are maintained in the thesaurus database but are not incorporated into the hierarchical structure of the thesaurus.
