Prayer and Hilda Doolittle

Search on "Hilda Doolittle" and The Book of Common Prayer is the third result. Why? A quick search in Eureka turns up:

Author: Church of England.
Title: [Book of common prayer]
The book of common prayer and administration of the sacraments and other rites and ceremonies of the church according to the use of the Church of England : together with the Psalter of Psalms of David, pointed as they are to be sung or said in churches : and the form and manner of making, ordaining, and consecrating of bishops, priests, and deacons.

Subjects: H. D. (Hilda Doolittle), 1886-1961--Ownership.

There it is. MARC and FRBR, not designed for each other.

LSI explanation

This article -- http://javelina.cet.middlebury.edu/lsa/out/cover_page.htm -- is about LSI, the same technique used in Recommind's software. We use LSI in conjunction with our structured data to help link together the structured, rigid language of the cataloging to the terms used in titles and notes (and responsibility statements).
