is it common thought for digital library managers to think subject headings are worthless? I mean, I know keyword searching is great and all, but I'm pretty sure I have read over and over again that keyword searching and subject headings are complementary.
@EthanDF If you want to do LOD eventually, won't you want controlled/external vocabulary for subjects?

@annaneat oh, well, there is that. I assume our DL manager thinks that Google will remove the need for that. Of course, the whole Empty Vessel argument supports that, too.

I should, our DL also does no entity management at all. So authors aren't controlled either - which to me, is an even bigger issue for LD

@EthanDF @annaneat oh yeah ours does noooooooooooooo proper entity management but I can't get to that if I don't have good stuff to work from. :feels:
