Obsidian Plugins: Unpacking the Power of Subdivisions in Library of Congress Subject Headings

Hey there, fellow Obsidian users! In this week's blog post, we're diving into the fascinating world of subdivisions in Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). As someone who loves digging deep into the nuances of Obsidian plugins, I'm excited to share my insights on how these powerful tools can enhance your research and organization skills.

What are Subdivisions?

In simple terms, subdivisions are a way to further categorize and refine LCSH headings. They help you drill down from broad, general topics to more specific ones, making it easier to find relevant information. Think of them like a hierarchical system that allows you to zoom in on your research topic.

How Do Subdivisions Work?

Subdivisions are created using the following codes:

• BT: Broader term (e.g., "Art" is a broader term for "Western Art")
• NT: Narrower term (e.g., "Volvo" is a narrower term of "Automobiles")
• RT: Related term (e.g., "Birds" is related to "Ornithology")

These codes help you navigate the complex web of LCSH headings and find relevant information.

The Power of Subdivisions in Obsidian

Now, let's talk about how these subdivisions can be used in Obsidian. The plugin we'll be exploring today, Obsidian Linked Data Vocabularies, uses the 'fuzzysort' npm module to enable fuzzy matching and autocomplete capabilities.

Imagine being able to type a few characters into your Obsidian note-taking app and having it automatically suggest relevant LCSH headings, complete with subdivisions. This plugin makes that possible!
