BTW, I don't think 240 is a good substitute as the content is very
different than in the regular title. That's where you'll find music, laws,
selections, translations and it's totally littered with subfields. The 70.1
figure from the stripped 245 is probably closer to the mark

Yes, you are right, especially for the particular purpose I am looking at. Thanks.


IMO, what you stand to gain in functionality, maintenance, and analysis is
much more interesting than potential space gains/losses.

Yes, obviously. But there exists an apology for FRBR that says that it will save cataloger time and will be more efficient in a database. I think it's worth taking a look at those assumptions. If there is a way to measure functionality, maintenance, etc. then we should measure it, for sure.

Thanks, Roy (and others!)

It looks like the 245 is including the $c - dang! I should have been more
specific. I'm mainly interested in the title, which is $a $b -- I'm looking
at the gains and losses of bytes should one implement FRBR. As a hedge,
could I ask what've you got for the 240? that may be closer to reality.

I don't even have to fire it up. That's a statistic that we generate
quarterly (albeit via Hadoop). Here you go:

100 - 30.3

600 - 41
610 - 48.8
611 - 61.4

  That sounds like a request for Roy to fire up the ole OCLC Hadoop.

  Anybody have data for the average length of specific MARC fields in some
reasonably representative database? I mainly need 100, 245, 6xx.

Thanks,
