classification facet - use current or try hierarchical?

[yulgit1]

The “classification” facet is currently as the first list below as what is now indexed “type_ss”. However there is a field setup for hierarchical facets called “type_facet” generated in a post xslt index step by the following logic:

if doc["type_standard"] and doc["type_parent"] doc["type_facet"][0]=doc["type_parent"][0] doc["type_facet"][1]=doc["type_parent"][0]+":"+doc["type_standard"][0] end

@flapka @edgartdata Should we continue to use type_ss, or try to implement the hierarchical facet: https://github.com/sul-dlss/blacklight-hierarchy

I'm agnostic on whether to implement a hierarchical work-type facet. Doing so would require further planning, and I'm not sure I have the time to do so before initial Blacklight implementation.

The more basic issue of improving work type mappings -- for library material -- requires significant modification to the XSLT, which I still hope to do (but it will take time).

We only have 3 sub-classifications for the art collection so i don't think it is worth it for now.

OK with tabling hierarchical for now but to make sure we're not conflating, there is 1) the current Classification facet based on type_ss. 2) The proposed hierarchical facet based on a concatenation of "doc["type_parent"][0]:"+doc["type_standard"][0]" 3) the current Worktype facet based on object_name_ss.

I was thinking of (2) as a replacement for the current Classification (1)) But could be called something else in its own right, or maybe replace (3).
