- We need a complete description of controlled vocabulary hierarchy. It seems pretty clear that some
controlled vocabularies need to have n sub-vocabularies. And some subclasses can probably appear with
several super-classes. 'Periodicals' appears in around 400 subjects. It also appears that the order of sub
and super is not well defined. In some cases 'Periodicals' is the final subject, and in other cases the
first subject. Curiously, topical subject bears a strong resemblence to the "tags" suggested below in [Tags](#tag-system).
