Abstract

Abstract Bibliographic records can include information from controlled vocabularies to capture identities about individuals, especially about authors or intended audiences; personal name authority records can also contain information about identity. Employing a systematic analysis of the overlap of the Homosaurus, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), and Library of Congress Demographic Group Terms (LCDGT), this article explores the extent to which LGBTQ+ identities are represented in the three vocabularies. Despite LCSH’s long, iterative history of development and the faceted, post-coordinate nature of LCDGT, neither vocabulary was found to be adequate in covering the complex, LGBTQ+ identities represented in the Homosaurus.

论重叠与他性:三个词汇表达LGBTQ+身份的比较

书目记录可以包括来自受控词汇表的信息，以捕捉个人身份，特别是作者或目标受众的身份;个人姓名权限记录还可以包含有关身份的信息。本文通过对同龙、美国国会图书馆主题词(LCSH)和美国国会图书馆人口分类术语(LCDGT)重叠部分的系统分析，探讨了LGBTQ+身份在这三个词汇中的体现程度。尽管LCSH有着漫长而反复的发展历史，而且LCDGT具有多面性和后坐标性，但这两种词汇都不足以涵盖同门龙所代表的复杂的LGBTQ+身份。
