3. Current Subject Faceting in Blacklight

4. Subject/Genre

5. September 9 th, 2013- Cornell contacts OCLC about 2001 publication September 2013- OCLC Announces project to enhance WorldCat db with FAST headings December 11- 12, 2013- ALCTS eforum, OCLC offers to partner with a library to convert their LCSH. Cornell requests service. Spring 2014- OCLC and Cornell test Batch Conversions of Cornell Records Spring 2014- OCLC and Cornell discuss feedback on problematic mappings Spring 2014- OCLC and Cornell strategize methods for extending FAST Near Future- Merge FAST headings into Cornell MARC records Partnering with OCLC

6. Everything you need to know that’s set is here.

7. From Ardeen’s Procedure: the list of tags.

8. The searchFAST tool interface

9. Subdivisions that are permitted:

10. “ If a topic belongs to different facets, separate headings in each facet are assigned.” Geographic headings are their own facet, with some differences from LCSH. LCSH direct: Ithaca (N.Y.) LCSH indirect: ‡z New York (State) ‡z Ithaca FAST:651 7 New York (State)‡zIthaca‡2fast‡0(OCoLC)fst01205507 LCSH direct: Angkor (Extinct city) LCSH indirect: ‡z Cambodia ‡z Angkor (Extinct city) FAST: 651 7 Cambodia‡zAngkor (Extinct city)‡2fast‡0(OCoLC)fst01897045 LCSH direct: Chelsea (Manhattan, New York, N.Y.) No LCSH indirect. “This heading is not valid for use as a geographic subdivision.” FAST: 651 7 New York (State)‡zNew York‡zChelsea (Manhattan)‡2fast‡0(OCoLC)fst01726315

11. Illustrating lots of FAST issues: (1) Subdivisions converting weird or not at all; (2) the new-look event headings, 611, and chronological headings, 648; (3) Biography and History as genre facets; (4) Politics and government = Political science?

12. How Friends and associates should have come out

13. Intolerables. LCSH, someday FAST: Description and travel Social conditions Economic conditions Politics and government Current FAST, someday gone: Travel Social history Economic history Political science

14. Everything was “Relations.” If it was LCSH: Relations Foreign relations Foreign economic relations Military relations NO LCSH EQUIVALENT Now it is FAST: International relations Diplomatic relations International economic relations Military relations Interfaith relations

15. “Local extensions,” to be picked up by OCLC if possible

16. Precise dates or a date range in 648?

17. 046 element available for embedding

18. FAST can make you feel lazy and untalented. FAST can set you free to say what you want to say.

19. Community by facets: physical juxtaposition in a bounded medium.

20. How “Death and burial” should convert, eventually

21. Current Subject Mapping in Solr

22. Vocabularies for faceting – Most likely only use |2 fast, |2 fast/NIC, and |2 fast/naf – Could conditionally use $2 naf if there are no FAST headings since the literals would converge Conditional logic for item record display – Supress FAST from item view if LC authorities are available. A Tentative Solr Mapping For FAST

25. URI’s: What can they do?

26. One URI Can Get You Many

27. Some URI’s Lead to Real World Data

28. Use of URI’s *Out* on the Web

29. Use of URI’s *In* on the Web (Metadata Can Become a Library Resource)

30. Recap of Benefits Better designed terms and phrases for faceting (NO more ‘Relations’) Greater convergence of values in the facets Potential for parsing subject from genre Better control of subjects in minimal level cataloging Aligns with our linked data goals You can see how and where all famous people have been buried in one search

31. Final Steps… Batch Loading FAST (80K-100K bibs a night) FAST for MLC 7 pilot complete after Thanksgiving (then becomes standard procedure) Make proposed changes to Blacklight (when we have a critical mass of FAST in catalog) Meanwhile, evaluate headings as their added to anticipate any issues with final implementation.
