If you have an OCLC Number you can use the Linked Data in WorldCat to see the related subject headings. http://experiment.worldcat.org/oclc/7977212 they are all in schema:about How I get the FAST headings for a given record is parse the URI looking for the string "http://id.worldcat.org/fast" If you want to take a string and convert to a FAST heading, AssignFAST - http://www.oclc.org/developer/develop/web-services/fast-api/assign-fast.en.html will allow you to do this. Feel free to email [log in to unmask] if you have specific questions or want to discuss your projects needs in more detail.
