Abstract

University of Victoria Libraries has implemented faceted vocabularies, particularly FAST, in its digital collections platform (Vault). The process involved migrating a variety of standardized (pre-coordinated Library of Congress subject headings) and non-standardized metadata to conform to a URI-centric metadata application profile. The authors argue that faceted vocabularies and FAST have helped to create a robust and intuitive user navigation in the platform and allowed for an efficient and straightforward metadata creation process. Maintaining FAST as linked data within Vault has required putting in place some technical processes to keep URIs and textual labels up to date and solutions (FAST Updater) have been locally developed.

摘要

维多利亚大学图书馆在其数字馆藏平台 (Vault) 中实施了分面词汇表，特别是 FAST。该过程涉及迁移各种标准化（预先协调的国会图书馆主题标目）和非标准化元数据，以符合以 URI 为中心的元数据应用程序配置文件。作者认为，分面词汇表和 FAST 有助于在平台中创建强大且直观的用户导航，并允许高效且直接的元数据创建过程。将 FAST 维护为 Vault 内的链接数据需要实施一些技术流程来保持 URI 和文本标签最新，并且已在本地开发了解决方案（FAST 更新程序）。
