- 2011 recommendation: Accessions
- Current recommendation: (not sure users understand or care about accession records; does anyone have evidence one way or the other?) Agreed. Most archives will spawn resource records if they want accessions made discoverable.
- If an institution wants to make accession records publicly available, using something like Unprocessed Material might make it more clear to users what they might find under it. Also it should be noted on the browse listing and record detail page exactly what a user is seeing. —TK

Subjects
- 2011 recommendation: Subjects
- Current recommendation:
- (it is unclear whether users find subject browsing useful from the usability testing; more review and discussion may be required)
- I am going to vote for making subject browsing a feature, since we use it all the time (Sue)
- I agree with Sue (Jessica Crouch)
- (it is unclear whether users find subject browsing useful from the usability testing; more review and discussion may be required)
Names
- 2011 recommendation: Names
- Current recommendation: Keep
- (it is unclear whether users find agent browsing useful from the usability testing; more review and discussion may be required)
- People and Organizations would make it more clear what kind of names are found in this area. —TK
- Agreed. And as above, we use it all the time (Sue)
- Ditto, Sue (Jessica)

Classifications
- 2011 recommendation: N/A
- Current recommendation: I'm still not sure what this even means, so not sure what to do with this. Repository site map?
- This seems to be functionality that different institutions can use in very different ways, similar to Repositories above.
- After reading Scott's comments, I'm concluding that Classifications refers to record groups. This is also a fairly technical term that is only common to records managers and institutional archivists, so I think we will need someone who uses classifications to weigh in with a more user-friendly term (Sue)
