<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Responses to questions:</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. I think all of the records we supplied have machine-generated FAST headings. We've done some various "what if" hand work over the course of the project to look various options as they've arisen, but we've worked on rules for machine conversion all along -- this is really the best way to play out "what if" scenarios. The routines are reasonably robust and accommodate for a variety of known legacy and common errors. That said, we know there will be tweaks needed as uncover new cases. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. Geographics -- we do have some logical patterns, but I'm going to let Ed weigh in on this. Generally FAST will adopt the same form that would appear in a 781 in a geo heading authority record. The Norway example is a processing error -- in fact the authority record shows: >781 0 $z Norway $z Svalbard. We'll look into it.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3. "History and criticism" Sound points. We've discussed various options. I'm going to defer to Ed to respond fully. </FONT></SPAN></P>
