Misha,
The AAT hierarchies (scheme facets) have two letter codes. The ones most
likely to be used by the DC community are:
HG (People and Organizations, wherein are all roles)
FL (Styles and Periods, wherein are all nationalities, a well as periods)
KD (disciplines)
KT (Process and techniques)
MT (Materials)
VW (Document Types)
Using your structure, I would guess these would be referred to as AAT:HG
or AAT:FL etc.
Your scrap of paper with POR is my fault. In Helsinki, for some reason, I
did not remember that the "People and Organizations" hierarchy which was
called HG...
