Hi all,
Question about a how citation order numbers are represented in the
MARC data. For datafield 999, subfield $o, what is the reasoning
behind the inclusion of the brackets? For instance, why "[23]" and not
just "23"?
I just happened across this randomly today; it's not causing a problem
or anything. It just seems like an odd decision.
Thanks,

>From the "How to Marc ADS" doc:
"""
999: Reference (R)
Indicators
First: C
Second: 5
Subfields:
$e: Score (NR) (ADS definition)
$f: Source (NR) (ADS definition)
$o: Order number (NR)
$m: Unresolved reference string (NR)
$r: Bibcode for resolved reference (NR)
$i: Other identifier for resolved reference (R) (ADS definition)
Notes:
The order number is in the form [number]; example [23]
