Description

It would be useful to have subject-related browse and recommendation module features similar to our existing Author functionality. It should not be difficult to adapt the Author code to Subjects (using the "topic" field in Solr). Perhaps it is even worth generalizing the code so that an arbitrary field can be browsed and searched.

On a related note, it may also be worth investigating integration of the National Library of Australia's browse functionality into the trunk:

Example:
http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Browse/Subjects?browse=subjects&from=kangaroo

Code for Solr plug-in:

Mark Triggs has created a branch to experiment with integrating NLA's browse functionality with my authority work-in-progress:

r2999 introduces the subject browse code to the trunk -- while this is not exactly the same as the original idea that inspired this ticket, it provides the necessary functionality, so this issue can be closed.
