Subject: Re: draft message

For an indexing project involving early Slavic manuscripts and secondary
sources about Slavic philology, I am trying to assemble a controlled list
of terms that can be used as subject keywords. Topics include types of
manuscripts, standard vocabulary in codicological, orthographic, and
paleographic description, linguistics etc. The vocabulary can be in any
language.

Do any such controlled vocabulary lists currently exist? The LC subject
headings are not really suitable, and I'd prefer not to have to create my
own taxonomy if someone has already done the job. If you know of any
such lists in related fields, information about them would be helpful,
too.

Please respond by personal email to David J. Birnbaum (djbpitt+ at pitt.edu),
who will post a summary of responses.

Thanks,

David
