The IAML Sub-commission on Unimarc was founded in 2003 with the aim to revise the UNIMARC format tags concerning music, collaborating with national working groups and sending proposals to the IFLA Permanent Unimarc Committee.

Several proposals were sent since then, and some have been approved, notably a full revision of field 128 - Coded Data Field: Form of Musical Work and Key or Mode, and the creation of new fields 036 - Music incipit and 145 - Coded Data Field: Medium of Performance.

For these two fields IAML has been appointed by IFLA as the maintenance agency of the codes and lists of terms.
