FAST & the FRDR Reconciliation Data

Description: This dataset contains 8,000 English keyword terms harvested by the Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) prior to 2019 and their mappings to the Faceted Application of Subject Terminology (FAST). This work was completed by the FAST & the FRDR working group (part of the Portage Network) using a combination of automated and manual reconciliation techniques. After 8,000 harvested English keywords from FRDR were loaded into the OpenRefine project, automatic reconciliation to FAST terms was then applied within OpenRefine. To confirm automatic reconciliation results and to complete reconciliation for terms that could not be matched automatically, members of the FAST & the FRDR working group applied the matching procedures.
