FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) is a simplified syntax for the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). FAST is developed by the Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC), with the goal of making subject cataloging less costly and easier to implement in online contexts. FAST headings separate topical data from non-topical data, such as information about a document's form, chronological coverage, or geographical coverage. Unlike LCSH, which are pre-coordinated, FAST headings are post-coordinated. ==Use== OCLC has been developing FAST since 1998, and originally intended the system to describe Web resources in simple metadata schemata, particularly Dublin Core.〔 FAST separates headings into eight distinct facets: topical, geographic, personal name, corporate name, form, chronological, title as subject, and meeting name. Each facet can be mapped to a specific Dublin Core element. For example, the geographic facet can be mapped to the ''coverage'' element in the basic Dublin Core Metadata Element Set, and to the ''coverage.geographic'' element in qualified Dublin Core. In keeping with Dublin Core's simplicity, FAST headings are meant to be "simple and easy to apply and to comprehend." To facilitate subject assignment, OCLC has developed a tool called ''assignFast''. This tool uses an autocomplete feature to assist catalogers with the details of FAST headings. OCLC has published FAST as linked data under an Open Data Commons Attribution (ODC-By) License. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Faceted Application of Subject Terminology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
