The RDA proscribed punctuation for data in 4XX & 8XX $v is in rule D.1.2.7, "Precede the numbering within a series or sub-series or multipart monographic resource by a semicolon." (It was the same in AACR2 & AACR2R.) Of course, not everyone catalogs according to RDA. But if this standard is to be implemented, then the $v in the 4XX & the 8XX would be preceded by a space-semicolon-space. As for terminal punctuation, MARC21 is inconsistent, e.g. 8XX ends with a period/full-stop, 4XX, 24X & 78X do not have terminal punctuation at all, etc. If the MARC21 standard is to be followed, then there should be a period/full-stop at the end of 8XX fields (and nothing at the end of 4XX fields). On this record, the 24X fields & 6XX fields lack terminal punctuation, and different field separators are used for multiple field displays (semicolons for the 24X field, pipes for the 6XX fields): http://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=35979 The 24X field separators may be custom--I'm sorry, but I'm not sure. I think it would be great to have standard field separators for multiple field displays in Koha, whatever they are. If the RDA proscribed punctuation of a semicolon is to be implemented preceding the $v field(s) in 4XX & 8XX fields, then perhaps pipes should be used as field separators. And, in the future, perhaps such pipes should be used as field separators for other multiple field displays.
