Galen Charlton (gmc) wrote : bib browse and facet index definition improvements

The current config.metabib_field definitions for certain subject browse fields cause components of a heading to be broken up, which decreases the utility of the browse list.

For example, consider the heading

=650 \0$aPresidents$zUnited States$vCorrespondence.

This is a pre-composed topical heading with form and geographic subdivision. Currently, the browse entry value that gets extracted is

"Presidents"

Were the XPath for cmf entry 14 changed (or an entry added) to

//mods32:mods/mods32:subject[local-name(./*[1]) = "topic"]

the extracted browse entry would be the entire heading:

Presidents -- United States -- Correspondence

This bug will be used for changes to the bib seed data to improve browse and facet entries.
