closeMatchbetween overlapping-but-not-coincident vocabularies (LCSH and FAST) where one scheme's scope is narrower, supporting browsing and retrieval with the gap flaggedThis sourceDocuments FAST as an LCSH-derived vocabulary whose scope and syntax differ from LCSH, so the two overlap without coinciding and crosswalk links between them are approximate.
- Thesaurus and subject-heading crosswalks — SKOS
- Precoordinated Heading
- LCSH is the canonical precoordinated vocabulary; OCLC FAST and faceted thesauri represent the postcoordinated alternative applied to the same underlying descriptive territory
This sourceFAST as a faceted vocabulary reworked from LCSH, with separate topical, geographic, chronological, event, name and form/genre headings. FAST as a reworking of LCSH's rules designed to make subject headings easier and cheaper to apply. LCSH as cumbersome to apply, and FAST as designed for use by people with minimal cataloging training. FAST's faceting of LCSH into separate topical, geographic, chronological, event, name and form/genre headings.

- Libraries and archives: topic, creator, place, period, genre, carrier, and audience
This sourceDocuments the FAST facets — topics, geographic names, time periods, form/genre and name facets — as the governed independently selectable axes of library subject access; carrier and audience are RDA element-set axes rather than FAST facets.

- OCLC FAST operationalizes this by decomposing Library of Congress Subject Headings into separately assignable facets — topical, geographic, chronological, form/genre, personal name, corporate name, meeting name, event and uniform title — of which topical is one
This sourceOCLC's FAST documentation showing that FAST derives from LCSH and divides its terms into nine separately assignable facets — personal names, corporate names, meeting names, geographic names, events, titles, time periods, topics, and form/genre — of which topical is one. FAST and faceted LCSH replace precoordinated headings with separately assignable facets — personal names, corporate names, meeting names, geographic names, events, titles, time periods, topics and form/genre among them — each usable on its own.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 4 of 8 citations: 1 supported, 3 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
