Just went through THEMA - I like how it handles Non-Fiction (although it's still pretty unwieldy), however fiction is the sticking point again. | Just went through THEMA - I like how it handles Non-Fiction (although it's still pretty unwieldy), however fiction is the sticking point again. | ||

+ | ===== Implementation questions ===== | ||
+ | * NNELS relies on other library, publisher and distributor records for its metadata. The most common subject headings used in these records are probably LOC (from libraries) and BISAC (from publishers). If another subject classification were to be used, NNELS would need to implement a crosswalk/ | ||
+ | * it might be easiest to utilize a subset of LOC subject headings for NNELS? we would map LOC subject headings to a smaller subset (similar to what we did for our genre taxonomy) | ||
+ | * we could additionally develop a BISAC to LOC (for NNELS) crosswalk? | ||
+ | * we could also map LOC to BISAC. Is there a crosswalk that already exists? | ||
+ | |||
+ | ............................. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If we go with a simplified version of LOC we could copy catalogue from libraries easily enough. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I think regardless, it might be worthwhile putting one BISAC heading in. BISAC seems to use pretty natural language, and I assume the keyword searches might have an easy time hitting on one of the parts of a BISAC heading. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I am not as familiar with the collection as I would have liked to be. From the record sets I have been working on, BISAC would be a good fit. - LL |
