References: http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/subject.html (MODS XML) Current MODS RDF: http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/modsrdf/primer.html#subject Example of current conversion: http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/modsrdf/examples/0006.rdf

1) We discussed authorities for names, but not for subjects. Does our approach work for subjects as well? https://github.com/blunalucero/MODS-RDF/issues/5 https://github.com/blunalucero/MODS-RDF/wiki/MODS-RDF-Working-Group-Call-10.03.14 See also Jeff's Linking to people example posted to the MODS RDF listserv on June 18, 2014

2) Subject has a number of subelements, such as topic, geographic, temporal, genre, etc. Do we need to parse this out in MODS RDF or only as a string?

To question 2: Personally, I believe that we will need to carry over the granularity of parsing out the subelements in support of the many faceted interfaces that are currently in use.
