Everything you need to know that’s set is here.
From Ardeen’s Procedure: the list of tags.
The searchFAST tool interface
Subdivisions that are permitted:
“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 IthacaFAST: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
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?
How Friends and associates should have come out
Intolerables.
LCSH, someday FAST:
Description and travelSocial conditionsEconomic conditionsPolitics and government
Current FAST, someday gone:
TravelSocial historyEconomic historyPolitical science
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
“Local extensions,” to be picked up by OCLC if possible
Precise dates or a date range in 648?

FAST can make you feel lazy and untalented. FAST can set you free to say what you want to say.
Community by facets: physical juxtaposition in a bounded medium.
How “Death and burial” should convert, eventually
Current Subject Mapping in Solr
• 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.

URI’s: What can they do?
One URI Can Get You Many
Some URI’s Lead to Real World Data
Use of URI’s *Out* on the Web
Use of URI’s *In* on the Web(Metadata Can Become a Library Resource)
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
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.
