Need for New Approach to Subject Vocabulary for Electronic Resources
Phenomenal growth of electronic resources,
Emergence of numerous metadata schemes,
Need for a new approach to subject access,
OCLC’s search for a subject access system for Dublin Core metadata records.
![Page 4: Edward T. O'Neill, OCLC, Dublin, OH Lois Mai Chan, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY ALA Annual 2004 FAST A Faceted LCSH-Based Subject Vocabulary](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5514e7d7550346935c8b5964/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Schema Requirements
Simple in structure and syntax,
Usable by non-catalogers and in non-library environments,
Optimal access points,
Semantic interoperability to enable users to search across discipline boundaries,
Compatible with MARC, Dublin Core, and other popular metadata schemas,
Easy to maintain and amenable to automatic authority control and computer manipulation.
![Page 5: Edward T. O'Neill, OCLC, Dublin, OH Lois Mai Chan, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY ALA Annual 2004 FAST A Faceted LCSH-Based Subject Vocabulary](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5514e7d7550346935c8b5964/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Options
Three basic choices in selecting an indexing/subject heading schema for Internet resources:Develop a new schema,
Use an existing schema(s),
Adapt or modify an existing schema.(cf. ALA/Subcommittee on Metadata and Subject Analysis(1997-2001)
http://www.ala.org/Content/ContentGroups/ALCTS1/Cataloging_and_Classification_Section/Committees3/Subject_Analysis/Metadata_and_Subject_Analysis/Subject_Data.htm)

Advantages of LCSH
Rich vocabulary covering all subject areas
Synonym and homograph control Extensive hierarchical and associative
references among terms De facto standard controlled vocabulary,
extensively used by libraries, contained in millions of bibliographic records.
Long and well-documented history, Strong institutional support of the Library
of Congress.

LCSH in the Electronic Environment
Syntax based on pre-coordination requires trained and skilled personnel
Does not lend itself to automatic indexing or authority control
Many pre-coordinated headings assigned to catalog records do not appear in the list
![Page 8: Edward T. O'Neill, OCLC, Dublin, OH Lois Mai Chan, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY ALA Annual 2004 FAST A Faceted LCSH-Based Subject Vocabulary](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5514e7d7550346935c8b5964/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
FAST schema
LCSH vocabulary
Simplified syntax
Designed for an online environment
A post-coordinated faceted vocabulary
Hierarchy is retained within facets
Retains the advantages of a controlled vocabulary

Authority Records
FAST will use MARC 21 formats
The MARC 21 bibliographic and authority formats were revised to accommodate FAST by authorizing the x48 (Chronological) fields
Authority records will be created for all FAST headings except chronological— chronological authority record will be created only when required for references

Geographic names will be established and applied in indirect order, [Florida—Orlando not Orlando (Florida)]
First level geographic names will be limited to names from the Geographic Area Codes table (e.g., Ohio, France, Great Lakes, etc.) Other names will be entered as subdivisions under the smallest first level name in which it is fully contained (Europe—Curzon Line)
Geographic Area Codes are included in all authority records for geographic names

Chronological (Period)
FAST chronological headings consist of only a single date or a date range
Limited to a single chronological heading per bibliographic record
Authority records will only be established when needed for references or linkages
Headings consist of a starting and ending date but will be formatted for display:
1945 1942 – 1945 Since 1987 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. From 500 to 570 million years ago [Cambrian]

Chronological Events Subdivisions
In LCSH, it is common to include topical information in chronological ($y) subdivisions:
Buffalo (N.Y.) $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865
Grenada $x History $y American Invasion, 1983
For these subdivisions, a FAST topical heading is also created:
American Invasion (Grenada, 1983)
Civil War (United States, 1861-1865)

Authority Control: FAST vs. LCSH
In LCSH, while many headings are established; most assigned headings are synthesized by catalogers based on rules
For FAST, all headings (except chronological) are established and only established headings can be assigned

LCSH Pattern Subdivisions
Free-floating subdivisions controlled by pattern headings are one example of how an established heading can be expanded. The scope of patterns is limited to particular types (patterns) of headings.
Burns and scalds
$x Family relationships
$x Patients
By establishing the complete heading in FAST, the complexity of rules under which they were originally established is effectively hidden.

Database: fast.oclc.org
Available as an OCLC SiteSearch database
The authority file is currently an alpha version—it is incomplete, contained known errors, and will be frequently updated and corrected
The database may be unavailable for extended periods
The current version of FAST is not yet sufficiently developed for use in any type of application; Beta version expected in July

Future Development Plans
Update and resynchronize all FAST headings with LCSH
Develop the conference/meetings facetDevelop the uniform titles facetExpand the geographic names based on

Add information from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)
Revise and expand the form (genre) facet
