What you're most likely to see are:
$w nne [used for former established heading; valid code in both AACR2 and
RDA]
$w nna [used for pre-AACR2 heading that is valid as an AACR2 reference]
$w nnaa [used for pre-AACR2 heading not valid as an AACR2 reference, so
shouldn't be displayed]
$w nnea [used for former valid AACR2 heading not valid as an RDA
reference, so shouldn't be displayed; this was also used in AACR2 when
Wade-Giles was converted to pinyin - the Wade-Giles established form was
made a reference]

Hi all,
I've been noticing a $wn in the see-from fields in RDA authority records, and
I'm not sure what the rest of the codes mean (nea, nna, etc..) I've found the
explanation of what the subfield means, but I can't seem to find a list of what
the codes in the subfield mean. Could anyone direct me to a list or set of
guidelines for those codes?
Thanks so much!
Miranda
