Ranganathan proposed five basic types of facets which may occur in many subject fields: personality, matter, energy, space, time.
What is a subject?.
In alphabetical indexing languages, such as are embodied in thesauri and subject headings lists, subject terms are the alphabetical names of the subjects.
A book index is an alphabetically arranged list of words or terms leading the reader to the numbers of pages on which specific topics are considered, or on which specific names appear.
The librarian generally looks at the book's title, subtitle, preface, contents list, etc, in order to determine the subject matter.
And, as another instance, it's not fair to employ rubrics for ethnic groups that are not their own, preferred names.
The material in the exhibition is organized into four thematic sections: objects used in daily life, funerary rites, religious items, and works of art.
Respondents indicated that they needed to master several subject disciplines and a sizable vocabulary to understand the literature they use.

subject indexing
subject assignment
A fundamental theoretical rule of subject indexing is that each heading should be co-extensive with the subject of the document, that is, the label and the information or documents found under that label should match.
The provision of AACR2 1st level of description may be a desirable and practical compromise between single subject assignment and full cataloguing.
