Abstract

Abstract Digital repository migrations present a periodic opportunity to assess metadata quality and to perform strategic enhancements. Lafayette College Libraries implemented OCLC FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) for its digital image collections as part of a migration from multiple repositories to a single one built on the Samvera Hyrax open-source framework. Application of FAST has normalized subject headings across dissimilar collections in a way that tremendously improves descriptive consistency for staff and discoverability for end users. However, the process of applying FAST headings was complicated by several features of in-scope metadata as well as gaps in available controlled subject authorities.

用户研究：OCLC FAST主题标题在Lafayette数字存储库中的实现

数字存储库迁移提供了定期评估元数据质量和执行战略增强的机会。作为Samvera Hyrax开源框架从多个存储库迁移到单个存储库的一部分，Lafayette学院图书馆为其数字图像馆藏实施了OCLC FAST(主题术语的分面应用)。FAST的应用规范了不同集合的主题标题，极大地提高了工作人员的描述一致性和最终用户的可发现性。然而，应用FAST标题的过程由于范围内元数据的几个特征以及可用的受控主题权威的空白而变得复杂。
