[osis-core] <subject type="LCSH">

[Patrick Durusau]

Todd,

So is this the proposal?

Change:

<xs:complexType name="subjectCT">
	<xs:simpleContent>
		<xs:extension base="xs:string">
			<xs:attributeGroup ref="globalWithType"/>
			<xs:attribute name="canonical" type="xs:boolean" use="optional"/>
		</xs:extension>
	</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>

To:

<xs:complexType name="subjectCT">
	<xs:simpleContent>
		<xs:extension base="xs:string">
			<xs:attribute name="type" type="subjectType" use="optional"/>
			<xs:attributeGroup ref="globalWithoutType"/>
			<xs:attribute name="canonical" type="xs:boolean" use="optional"/>
		</xs:extension>
	</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>

Add:

<xs:simpleType name="subjectType">
         <xs:union memberTypes="osisSubjects attributeExtension"/>
     </xs:simpleType>

<xs:simpleType name="osisSubjects">
         <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
             <xs:enumeration value="ATLA"/>
             <xs:enumeration value="BILDI"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="DBC"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="DDC"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="EUT"/>
             <xs:enumeration value="FGT"/>
             <xs:enumeration value="LCSH"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="NLSH"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="RSWK"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="SEARS"/>
             <xs:enumeration value="SOG"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="SWD_RSWK"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="UDC"/>
	    <xs:enumeration value="VAT"/>
         </xs:restriction>
     </xs:simpleType>


Note that in the documentation we need to expand the values (should we 
list websites? I probably won't have time to find them all and some are 
probably not online, like the Vatican one).

ATLA: publications (subject listing not online, http://www.atla.com).

BILDI: (Biblewissenschaftliche Literaturdokumentation Innsbruck, 
http://bibfutheol.uibk.ac.at/bildi).

DBC: Dutch Basic Classification

DDC: (Dewey Decimal System), http://www.oclc.org/dewey/.

EUT: Estonian Universal Thesaurus

FGT: Finnish General Thesaurus

LCSH: Library of Congress site (http://www.loc.gov/).

NLSH: National Library Subject Headings 
(http://mak.bn.org.pl/info/info19a.htm, Poland National Library)

RSWK: Regeln für den Schlagwortkatalog

SEARS: Sears List of Subject Headings

SOG: Soggettario (Italian subject headings system)

SWD_RSWK: Swiss National Library

UDC: Universal Decimal Classification

VAT:  Vatican Library subject headings


Use of this attribute means that the subject is as declared in that 
system. Informative value only.

Probably should note that this is a starter set, British Library lists 
its classification system as "various." ;-)

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
