Configuring CDI Normalized Subject Headings for Primo
CDI Normalized Subject Headings enable you to map incoming subject terms to a controlled vocabulary based primarily on LCSH and MeSH. The outcome of this mapping is the following:
-
Subject field (Normalized) – This indexed field includes only subjects matching the CDI-controlled vocabulary. It is deduplicated and normalized.
-
Keyword field – This field includes all subjects that could not be mapped against the CDI-controlled vocabulary. These subjects are considered keywords, which are also indexed and searchable.
This functionality improves the consistency of subject terms, which were not normalized, duplicated, and led to user confusion. For more details, see Using Normalized Subject Headings from CDI.
When disabled, the existing Subject field for display, search, and facets is used.
